What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

Casiotone for The Painfully Alone is a strange one. Either a sickbucket inflicting display of miserablist self-pitying indulgence or a canny purveyor of some of the sweetest paeans to seemingly eternal single life, you decide. I quite dig the dude. He writes some cool tongue in cheek electro pop numbers that combine the hazy sadness of Grandaddy with the dramatic tear stained pop of The Magnetic Fields. Also see Thee More Shallows embellishing some of their ace heartbreak classics with a drum machine & toytown keyboards. Or an electro Smog in a really shitty bedsit. Melancholy, beautiful & utterly charming. On Tomlab is this new 4 track single, 'Young Shields' & there's a great new album to follow (see what the clam has been whistling to above)

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.
