We have a couple of rather super CDs in by Casiotone For The Painfully
Alone (on Tomlab). This is great stuff, namely because it takes the
melancholic songwriting skills of the likes of Grandaddy & Death Cab
For Cutie & puts 'em through a low fi electro shredder. It sounds so
fresh & simple & is just begging to pull your heartstrings. These
tunes could so easily be pissed out in 2 minutes by lesser hands but
there's such SKILL & real WARMTH here it hurts. Once again, someone
totally restoring my faith in indie. Give at least one of 'em a try cos
they've made my afternoon! We got Twinkle Echoes and Pocket Symphonies!
