  MetroActive Music | Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Casiotone, as the band is lovingly called by its small but devoted following, has been around for about two years.
Casiotone's Answering Machine Music was recorded on boomboxes and borrowed four- tracks, in bedrooms as makeshift studios, using a Casio SK-1, a Yamaha Portasound and a variety of Casiotones souped up for amplification.
While Magnetic Fields' songs dwell on codependency and morose longing, Casiotone's songs are not about being "painfully alone" as much about as the small flickers of connection and the potential of love.

 Daytrotter | Free Songs: Casiotone
Casiotone For The Painfully Alone – and his buddies and backing band The Donkeys stopped by, but it was almost overkill.
Ashworth brings his own mood trigger – in the music he plays and in his super hibernating demeanor when he’s playing it – that adds another thick layer to the calming feel of the room.
The jangling guitar and the precious piano parts, Owen telling Tony to take it, they would have been sorely missed had they still be at home in San Diego.

CASIOTONE - Pocket Symphonies For Lonesome Subway Cars
Coming from Portland, Oregon, Owen Ashworth's Casiotone for the painfully alone project marries the kid-simplicity we've come to love in the world of Tomlab with the introspection of shoegazing indie songwriters.
