News from the Casiotone for the painfully alone world

Owen Ashworth, the man behind the morose blips and beats of Casiotone for the painfully alone is due to return this year with a double release! Firstly we'll have VS Children, the follow-up to the gorgeous 2006 Etiquette LP, then a compilation of B-Sides and rarities, Advance Base Battery Life, for all the casiotone fanboys out there and, last but not the least, an european tour that doesn't have Portugal on it. As usual.

Tracklistings for both albums with cover arts are already available via casiotone's website and a first single out of the compilation album. Yeah, that's right, a video. Owen Ashworth means business!
