Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - Lesley Gore on the TAMI Show (2001)

Sad electronic music for miserable people?  Yeah, maybe.  But honestly, Owen Ashworth writes so well.

I lost my words under tires and feet

Etiquette by Casiotone for the painfully alone

6.5/10

If being a depressed 25-year-old had a sound, Etiquette by Casiotone for the painfully alone would be it.

Owen Ashworth (the Tame Impala of Casiotone ("Did you know Tame Impala was one guy?!?!") ) mumbles over eerie keyboard keys for 30 minutes in a way that's akin to revisiting old photographs from past frat parties that you were unwillingly dragged to by your drunk friend Vicky.

I did quite enjoy this album; the lo-fi sound was unconventional and worked well with his dry vocals. The best parts of Etiquette lie in its sound. It's minimalistic, made up mostly by Owen's keyboard, a drum set and probably other instruments that i don't know the names of.

I tried to conjure up something negative about this album to add more nuance to my review, but I was unable to come up with anything. I'm not going to call Etiquette flawless, though. While I did enjoy it and I'm definitely going to relisten, it just didn't do it for me.

I think we can just chalk that up to personal taste. If you live in Portland, this is definitely for you.

Etiquette is nonetheless good, just good. I can see myself returning to this album eventually.

Some highlights of mine include 'Nashville Parthenon,' 'I Love Creedence,' and 'Bobby Malone Moves Home.' I can't really tell you what made these songs stand out to me, well, they're really catchy, I guess? But they're (like the rest of the album) good.

"Cold White Christmas" by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

And you trudge to work through the snow in a coat down to your knees And you linger at the twinkle lights as you pass by the mall And count the days to a cold, white Christmas in St. Paul

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone -> Advance Base

Singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth performs poignant, lushly arranged indie pop songs as Advance Base.

Previously known for his beloved indie electronic outfit Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (a favorite of mine dear reader) as Advance Base, Owen features an organic-sounding mix of acoustic instrumentation, minimal electronics and thoughtful lyrics.

Highly recommend a listening tour of both Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and Advance Bass. Ear candy all around.
