Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies

New. Sealed. Repress. 

Jar of Flies is the critically acclaimed acoustic EP by Seattle grunge legends Alice In Chains, released in 1994. Known for its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, this seven-track release showcases the band’s softer, more emotional side, blending alternative rock, acoustic grunge, and blues influences. Featuring standout tracks like “No Excuses,” “I Stay Away,” and “Nutshell,” the album explores themes of isolation, addiction, and vulnerability with raw honesty.

Praised for its atmospheric production and the deeply personal vocals of Layne Staley, Jar of Flies debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, making it the first EP in history to achieve that feat. Its acoustic-driven sound and emotional depth have solidified its status as one of Alice In Chains’ most beloved and influential releases.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the band or discovering their music for the first time, Jar of Flies remains an essential listen for anyone interested in 90s alternative rock, grunge, or emotionally resonant music.
