Owen Ashworth started to make music on a small casio keyboard back in 1997. His first two albums, “Answering Machine Music” and “Pocket Symphonies for Lonely Subway Cars,” were made using nothing but small, battery-operated keyboards and Ashworth’s own voice (along with occasional accompaniment by guest musicians). These early albums are now available on one CD, appropriately titled “The First Two Albums by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone.”
Ashworth has released numerous EPs and full-length albums, with a trademark austere lyrical style that conveys emotions through its simplicity and directness.
CFTPA expanded its sound in 2006 with Ashworth’s release ‘Etiquette,’ now using more instruments and effects (as well as more professional production and vocals from Jenny Herbinson). This album has given Ashworth room for experimentation and thinking space.
In 2009, CFTPA’s newest album, titled ‘Vs. Children,’ was released.
