Jars of Clay To Release New Album 'Inland', First Single Out Now

Jun 19 2013

Jars of Clay will release their new album 'Inland' on 27th August 2013. The album's first single, 'After The Fight' is now available for download from digital retailers and is accompanied by a lyrics video (see below).

The band worked with Grammy-nominated producer Tucker Martine (REM, Sufjan Stevens) on the album which they say has been over two years in the making. Earlier this week they made title track 'Inland' available as a free download from the Rolling Stone website.

"It is a song about walking toward mystery and not being afraid to take risks," lead singer Dan Haseltine told Rolling Stone. "The idea came from Homer's Odyssey. In the story, Odysseus, a man who lived his life on the sea, is provoked, to take his oar and walk inland until he finds someone who doesn't know what an oar is."

Fans downloading the new single from iTunes will be able to use the 'complete my album' feature to get the rest of the album's tracks when it is released in August.

The band have also announced plans for 'The Inland Tour' from July to September, with special guests Brooke Waggoner and The Last Bison.
