Release Notes:

Multi-platinum and triple Grammy winning band Jars of Clay have long held a
reputation for creative excellence. With their latest record Good Monsters, the
band continues to create music that stretches the imagination and offers a new
perspective on who we are as a church today. Dan Haseltine explains,

"I was not sure how all of the experiences of the last few years would translate
into music. There have been so many things to look at and describe. This record
is part confessional, part euphoric love poem, part bitter divorce, and part
benediction. It was born out of many experiences and conversations between
addicts, failures, lovers, loners, believers, and beggars. And so the language
of recovery and the honest discourse about our attempts to live apart from God
and apart from each other is a theme. Engaging people who are doing the hard
work of laying their lives open to others, and avoiding isolation, has allowed
me to see that there is both immeasurable evil and unfathomable good mixing
under my own skin and it is grace, mercy and freedom that allow me to not simply
be a monster, but to be a good monster."

With eleven original songs and a remake of the Julie Miller- penned anthem All
My Tears, Good Monsters even boasts a couple of stirring guest appearances:
Nashville-based Americana singer/songwriter extraordinaire Kate York guests on
Even Angels Cry, and formerly of Sixpence None the Richer, Leigh Nash sings on
Mirrors and Smoke.
