Jars Of Clay
Jars of Clay is a popular Christian alternative pop group. Their sound has varied over the years as the band has flirted with folk, rock, trip-hop, gospel, and hymnsong.
Their self-titled album, which featured layered acoustic guitars over programmed trip-hop beats, is widely considered one of the greatest Christian rock albums. This is a bit of a misnomer, possibly caused by the use of drums on "Flood", the band's biggest hit.
Later albums saw large shifts in style. Much Afraid saw them releasing gorgeous pop music, while If I Left the Zoo is a quirkier album, featuring considerably more keys and experimentation. The Eleventh Hour is their only true "rock" album. They returned to acoustic guitars for the "Furthermore" project, which featured two EPs - a live disc and an acoustic disc. The band's 5th album, Who We Are Instead continued some of the band's earlier sonic experiments and showcased some new gospel, bluegrass, and hymnsong influences. The hymnsong approach was continued on an album of new arrangements of classic hymns - Redemption Songs.
A new album titled "Good Monsters" was released on Sept. 05, 2006 and further showcases the diverse style of the venerable quartet.
