  • Bio

    Carina Round has carved a singular path in music with her inimitable voice and stirringly varied compositions. Her uncompromising vision and thrilling versatility has garnered an immensely passionate fan base including a myriad of highly regarded musicians. Her forthcoming album 'Tigermending' comes from a painting by Amy Cutler where three women sit in a field dutifully stitching the bellies of a heap of helpless Tigers. Carina recounts, "The first time I saw the painting I stared at it for a long time not understanding why. The absurd image absorbed me. There was an innocent simplicity to it. The gentle putting back together of something most ferocious and wild mysteriously damaged to the point of submission. I felt an affinity to it." The new album is being released May 1st 2012 through her label Dehisce* and distributed through The Orchard. Produced with Grammy nominated writer Dan Burns, Carina collaborated with some notable champions including the legendary Dave Stewart, Brian Eno, and Smashing Pumpkins' front man Billy Corgan. She released 'The Last Time' single featuring Sierra Swan along with a Puscifer remix of 'Girl and the Ghost' on Limited Edition 7" Vinyl at the end of last year. "Making my home in the creative circus of Los Angeles has allowed me the profound opportunity to develop a loving and supportive community of brilliant musicians, artists, photographers, videographers and other collaborators. I've been fortunate to work with and learn from some of my favorite artists old and new, which has opened me up to new roads of expression. Also I've had time and freedom to experiment and explore, especially without the pressure or constraints of a label. Every song in its own way is speaking of really different things. There's guitar ragers, acoustic beauties, electronic epics, a little prog moment and all the good stuff in between but there's a strong backbone running through the whole record." Haling from England, Carina had an innate determination and passion for music from an early age, which led her to record and self-release her first two albums, 'First Blood Mystery' and 'The Disconnection'. The former shaped by erratic yet engaging sounds drawing from her love of legends Patti Smith, Tom Waits and Jeff Buckley. The latter took those influences into much more powerful and personal realms. These two albums led to her being signed by Interscope Records, who re-released 'The Disconnection' album in 2004. This brought Carina US bound to Los Angeles where she recorded her bewitching and seductive album 'Slow Motion Addict' with acclaimed producer Glen Ballard. Accompanying this release in 2007 was a unique 12-part episodic series that cleverly coincided with each track, creating a visual story for the album. In this film Carina starred as the troubled lead character, Maisie Scarlett. A couple years later, after parting ways with Interscope, Carina toured with Annie Lennox and self-released her ethereal and nakedly confessional EP 'Things You Should Know', which resulted in considerable success. Her new songs were featured in numerous film & TV shows and multiple radio stations, including KCRW, championed her music. Carina became a touring member of Puscifer, Tool's Maynard James Keenan's band, worked on their latest album 'Conditions of My Parole', and began opening the live shows. Opportunities began to arise to work with other artists Carina admires, including singing on The Twilight Singers album 'Dynamite Steps', working with the award winning composers John Debney and Glen Ballard on a song composed for the film 'Valentine's Day', writing with Academy Award winner Marco Beltrami, as well as finishing up an album with her Alt-Country side project Early Winters, which was self-released earlier in the year. The Early Winters' track 'Count Me In' will be featured in the upcoming Warner Brothers film 'The Lucky Ones' in April and Carina's song 'For Everything A Reason' will be in the upcoming film 'Dark Hearts' later in the year. TV and film placements include American Horror Story, Pretty Little Liars, Dollhouse, as well as many more. *Dehisce : to burst open spontaneously releasing seeds / content

Biography

Carina Round has carved a singular path in music with her inimitable voice and stirring compositions. Her uncompromising vision and thrilling versatility have garnered her an immensely passionate fan base that includes many artists. Her new album, released May 1, 2012, features some of her notable champions including Smashing Pumpkins' front man Billy Corgan who contributes guitar to 'Got To Go (The L.A Song)' and the legendary Dave Stewart and Brian Eno who co-wrote the track 'The Secret of Drowning'.

Carina is giving everyone an early taste of the thrills to come with her new single 'The Last Time' featuring Sierra Swan and a video directed by Scott Rhea. She released the Puscifer remix of her track 'Girl and the Ghost' on Limited Edition 7" Vinyl through Manimal Records and digitally worldwide through The Orchard.

Growing up in Wolverhampton, England, Carina, starting from a very young age, always had an affinity towards music and began to follow her musical dreams. Never losing sight of her goals, her determination and passion led to the recording of her first album First Blood Mystery (2001). Shaped in erratic but gripping sounds, her love of legends Patti Smith and Jeff Buckley resonates undeniably.

The follow-up and Interscope re-released debut album: The Disconnection (2004) took those influences into much more powerful and personal realms. It landed Carina worldwide exposure in the process, which ultimately brought her career to Los Angeles, California. The relocation proved worthwhile. For Slow Motion Addict (2007), Carina teamed up with notable producer Glen Ballard to create a bewitching and seductive new album. Accompanying the release was a 12-part episodic series that cleverly coincided with each track, creating a visual story for the album. It gave Carina another medium to showcase her artistic ability by acting and starring as the troubled lead character, Maisie Scarlett.

Two years later, Carina self-released the EP Things You Should Know that resulted in much critical success, having multiple film & TV shows feature her music as well as multiple radio stations, including KCRW, champion her music. Opportunities came flooding in to work with other artists Carina has admired over the years. She began touring with Puscifer, Tool's Maynard James Keenan's band, and worked on their new album Conditions of My Parole, which is set to be released on Oct. 18th, 2011. She also sang vocals on The Twilight Singers new album Dynamite Steps along with other artists Nick McCabe (The Verve), Mark Lanegan, and Ani DiFranco. In addition to this, Carina moved into the world of composing and writing for film, working with the award winning film composers John Debney and Glen Ballard on a song that was composed for the film Valentine's Day, writing with Academy Award winner Marco Beltrami, as well as various others.

In one of Carina's co-writing sessions, a band was created called Early Winters with EMI Canadian artist Justin Rutledge, L.A. producer/musician Dan Burns and multi-instrumentalist Zac Rae. The band released a self-titled EP in 2010 that was partly recorded using Skype and video chat due to the members being in 4 different countries. The EP has received numerous film and TV placements and accolades, including many radio stations that were early supporters, for its addictive hooks, far-flung emotions, and intimate sound.
