Music: Rock/Pop Casiotone for the Painfully Alone w/ Magical, Beautiful and PAL

  • Casiotone_large

It's a special night for Owen Ashworth, as the Chicago-based film-school dropout and master of melancholy celebrates ten years of his aptly named musical project, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. Ashworth's earliest recordings set brief, brokenhearted verses to an endearingly limited palette of keyboard drones and shallow, pre-programmed beats. The formula has deepened over the last two records (Twinkle Echo and Etiquette), with Ashworth adopting a more melodic singing voice, but intimate confessionals are still Casiotone's bread and butter. A pair of fellow Chicagoan acts, Magical, Beautiful and PAL, open.
