The Ellen Frances-directed video for the Reflections’ second single, “Disconnected,” reminds us all too much of the zoning out many people do while traveling during the holidays. Its kaleidoscopic focus on subway tunnels is like a zany limbo between zombie-like autopilot and alertness upon destination. Like the clip, the song itself is riveting but wonky with Darian Zahedi repeatedly singing the word “disconnected” as if he’s off in a distant world. Its tone is a bit colder (and a bit more intense which perfectly matches the craze of any holiday season) than “Summer Days,” but it’s another promising nugget from their forthcoming debut “Limerence,” which is slated for an early 2013 release.
