The Fourth World is the second album by Kara's Flowers, although it was the first album released under a label. Expected to be a success by the band and label, it flopped, selling about 5000 copies. Their are two versions on the outcome. The first main version is that the band was dropped by the label. The second, stated by the band, goes like this,  "They played shows in almost every city in the country supporting their album.  Unfortunately, the single didn't take off at radio or MTV.  Rob Cavallo left Reprise records, and Kara's Flowers was left alone at the label.  Fortunately, the band was able to get out of it's contract with Reprise, and look for other interested labels."The album name comes from the realm in the movie Heavenly Creatures by Peter Jackson.
