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. |
