Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers is the second full-length album by the band Jack Off Jill. Produced by Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails/Tweaker, it was released in July 2000 on the now-defunct label Risk Records and is generally considered to be Jack Off Jill's best album.^{[attribution needed]} The blonde girl in the album's cover art (by Mark Ryden) is supposed to be either:^{[original research?]}
