Casiotone for the Painfully Alone: Small and handmade and… over
Owen Ashworth is most definitely in London. Shoreditch is screaming in the background of our call—car horns, sirens, roaring trucks and buses, trains rumbling overhead, passers-by shouting. He’s visited the city a lot these past few years, but this is the last time he’ll be here for a while. Because after fifteen years of writing and performing his keenly observed lo-fi ditties under the name Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, he’s decided to call it a day.
