As everyone knows, all things DIY are good. DIY chartshow, DIY synthpop, Ikea furniture....oh, wait. Sorry. "But what's that you said," I hear you ask, "DIY synthpop???"...

Yip, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone's first 3 albums were recorded using nothing more than cheapy home keyboards and 4-tracks...but now things are changing. Owen Ashworth, the man behind it all, has decided he's taken those limitations to their logical conclusion, and has expanded his sound.

The new album, "Etiquette", sees him working with producers such as Jherek Biscoff (of The Dead Science and Degenerate Art Ensemble) and Jason Quever (The Papercuts and Pan American Recording Studio), and brings in pianos, organs, strings, flutes, drums, and pedal steel guitars. However, at the root of it all, the homemade feel remains. And jolly nice it is, too.
