Last year, Owen Ashworth, the SF-based film-school dropout and master of melancholy, celebrated ten years of his aptly named musical project, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. Thankfully, for the lovelorn and wistful, he hasn't put away his pawn shop keyboards just yet. 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.
