Clear Hearts Grey Flowers

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.^[1]

The blonde girl in the album's cover art (by Mark Ryden) was speculated to be either:

a representation of guitarist Helen Storer of the UK all-girl band Fluffy, who joined Jack Off Jill onstage once for their farewell performance at The Troubadour in Los Angeles in April of 2000; or
Michelle Inhell, the band's original guitarist, who temporarily rejoined Jack Off Jill and cowrote four songs on this album.

Singer Jessicka later revealed in a 2003 interview that she had sketched the concept for Mark Ryden and that the third girl was actually supposed to be a combination of both Inhell and Storer, who were both blonde at the time of the recording.^[2]

After Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers the band formally split up, and moved on to establish other projects.
