Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

Drawing heavy influence from traditional Americana as well as 80's synth pop and commercial hiphop, the music of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone is a curious mix of austere character studies and playful electronic programming.

Following up on his Advance Base Battery Life compilation of singles. Covers and rarities from earlier in 2009, CFTPA release a second album Vs Children in April to immediate praise.

Live, Owen Ashworth recreates his recordings using a makeshift dub soundsystem. glitchy drum machine rhythms, battery-operated synths, melodic loops, and hand-triggered samples are routed through various echo boxes and filters to accompany his slow, deliberate vocal style.

With special guests Concern and Clue To Kalo.
