Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (CFTPA) is the musical solo-project of musician Owen Ashworth (born 1977) of Redwood City, California.

Contents

[edit] History

Ashworth started CFTPA after he dropped out of film school in 1997. He has toured with other similarly acclaimed indie artists like The Donkeys, The Papercuts, Cass McCombs, Kill Me Tomorrow, P:ano, The Dead Science, David Bazan, The Rapture, and Xiu Xiu.

The musical style is characterized by the use of electronically produced beats, cheap keyboards, and slow, frank lyrics. On Etiquette, Ashworth widened his musical horizon and added more analog instruments and an overall more organic sound.

His brother is Gordon Ashworth, who makes experimental harsh noise as Oscillating Innards and ambient works as Concern.
