Music: Rock/Pop Casiotone for the Painfully Alone w/ the Urxed, Clue to Kalo, and Fiasco

  • Casiotone_large

This year Owen Ashworth, the SF-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, broken-hearted 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, Etiquette), with Ashworth adapting a more melodic singing voice, but intimate confessionals are still Casiotone's bread and butter. Openers Clue to Kalo continue the melancholy, wistful streak, but with folkier (Australian) undertones.
