The Disconnection

The Disconnection is the second album by Carina Round. It was released in March 2004. The album was released in the UK with a cover shot by Anoushka Fisz (wife of Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics who supported her since), then released in 2004 with a different, less disturbing cover photo, on Interscope in the US. The album garnished comparisons to Bjork, Jeff Buckley and Robert Plant.
