Casiotone for the Painfully Alone I mentioned the name and style of this band(?) to Graeme and he immediately thought of Stu. "Stu doing Joy Division," was my reply. Graeme gets that; Stu, I suspect, doesn't. Anyway, since we're all talkin' about it, here's some. He's in Chicago eleven sixteen and then out here three days later playing at the Hi-Dive, where this week I missed a chance to see d.biddle. His label (more downloads there) says: Using only battery operated keyboards and electronics as instruments, Ashworth has created a hybrid strain of raw, emotional, and very homemade synth pop that is as influenced as much by film and literature as by its more obvious musical counterparts. CFTPA's claustrophobic two-minute character studies shudder with reverbed beats, blown-out chords, simple-but-infectous melodies, layered beneath the sometimes funny but always heartbreaking lyrics of Ashworth's sighing baritone.I'd bet money he wrote that himself. Anyway, this one is clever and annoyingly catchy. I've had it set on repeat during this entire composition. Be careful. |
Some parts true. Many made-up.
