Jes provides one of the most incongruous album covers I've seen in a while. The style makes sense for the music of Disconnect, but the guitar's just too out of place, too much of a fashion accessory. It's not that there's no guitar on the album, but it's an electronic disc, a little trip-hop, some trance, but even if you go with the "rocktronica" label, it doesn't make sense to take some sort of detached guitarslinger pose on the cover. The stripe looks great; the earrings and tie work, but the guitar says something completely different, maybe that she's Liz Phair for the house set. It's a nice visual, but it just doesn't make sense in connection with her music.
