Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is the musical alias of 28 year old American film school drop-out Owen Ashworth. Ashworth began making music in 1997 after he realized that song-making was a far more cost-effective means of storytelling than film-making.

The first three Casiotone for the Painfully Alone albums were made using only battery operated keyboards and electronics recorded to 4-track cassette. Claustrophobic two-minute character studies shuddered with reverbed beats, blown-out chords, and simple but infectous melodies, all layered beneath Ashworth's sometimes funny but always heartbreaking lyrics.




Believing he had taken his self-imposed set of limitations to their logical conclusion, Ashworth expanded his sound with 2006's Etiquette. Etiquette removes the focus from a decidedly utilitarlian aesthetic to a broader production spectrum that finally gives Ashworth's personal, affecting song writing the space it deserves. In collaboration with producers and musicians like Jherek Bischoff (of The Dead Science and Degenerate Art Ensemble) and Jason Quever (The Papercuts and Pan American Recording Studio), the sound of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone has grown to include pianos, organs, strings, flutes, drums, and pedal steel guitars in addition to Ashworth's signature electronics and drum machines.

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

Young Shields


there's a shield around us
it's invisible & soundless
& we drink too much & fuck too soon
smoke cigarettes in rented rooms
we quit our jobs & shoot the moon
& cut our wrists & sleep til noon

there's a shield around us
we're invincible & boundless
& we're on the run from I don't know
we're Patty Hearst & Squeaky Fromme
asleep on subways far from home
you'd think we'd never seen a comb

sent a letter to Mom & Dad
Mom & Dad the money's running out
got a letter from Mom & Dad
they didn't send me anything

there's a shield around us
we are heady we are groundless
& we burn our friends & kill their names
build insecure & petty fames
& tattoo things that we believe
stars & skulls & hearts in half-sleeves

there's a shield around us
tell me how is it you've found us
cause we hide our tracks & watch the ground
our footfalls they don't make a sound
we've cursed the names of our hometowns
we're compassless & nowhere bound

sent a letter to Mom & Dad
Mom & Dad the money's running out
got a letter from Mom & Dad
I swear to God they don't get me at all

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone Joins the Foreign Legion



should've known that this would end
stopped being my friend
some thing's just aren't worth mending
some messages aren't worth unsending
the way you walked past the door
oblivious to me writing on the floor
from the pain you inflicted
and all the pills that the doctor prescripted
just don't work anymore
they don't work anymore
they don't work anymore
they don't work anymore
it's not the point that i'm at
you fucked me up pretty bad
now it's all too late
you can forward my mail to the state
cause i joined the foreign legion
joined the foreign legion
joined the foreign legion
joined the foreign legion
joined the foreign legion
joined the foreign legion
joined the foreign legion

HALF GHOST



you can stand at a show all night
somewhere in the back just watching the bands
you can try to pretend nothing's wrong
& clap for the songs

or drive all night for no reason
just drive til the tape's done
& leave everything to the long long road
to take you home

or talk on the phone all night
& tell the whole story to an answering machine
or put everything on a song
just put everything on some song on the radio

at least a song won't cheat
at least a song won't leave

TO MY MR SMITH

hey you walk so slow when the bus doesn't show
i guess you've got to think somemore before you get home
but hey the night is cold & that jacket's so old
that the chill comes in through the holes
why don't you stop in on your way
if there's something that you want to say
you don't have to keep it inside
hey, you say your days go by so slow
do you think i don't know
it's the same for everyone in this whole town

[Turambar]

YOU NEVER CALL


& we've all but lost our chance
for a summertime romance
i watched the days slip into fall
& you still won't return my calls

maybe you'd like to go to a show
please just call me and let me know
when you finally get home
i'll be waiting by the phone

i know it must seem quite obscene
all these calls on your machine
but you've left me with no choice
& all your roommates know my voice

CALLOUSED FINGERS WON'T MAKE YOU STRONG EDITH WONG


a studio apartment somewhere new
somewhere far away from here
how does it feel
are you lonesome

now you've got first chair
but a broken heart won't mend
when your cello's your only friend
it doesn't matter what they're paying you edith wong

when you're sitting in the spotlight
a standing ovation every night
does it occur to you
that something isn't right

& when you're kissing someone new
but you know that your heart's not through
with the last boy
do you say to yourself this'll do

you can hide in the cinema
you've got the money to spend
but the movies always end
& then it's your life again

you can practice all day long
until the notes are perfect
but your heart's all wrong
calloused fingers won't make you strong edith wong
