This past week, I reviewed Casiotone for the Painfully Alone’s latest release for PopMatters. Advance Base Battery Life, as it’s called, is a singles collection that compiles tracks from 7” singles, splits and compilations released during the last three years. Casiotone (a.k.a. Owen Ashworth), as you may know, has pretty much mastered the art of putting out strong 45s, so it should come as no surprise that there’s plenty worth hearing on this stopgap release. If you slept on the singles or if you—gasp!—haven’t yet given Casiotone a listen, Advance Base Battery Life offers a convenient way to get caught up in anticipation of Ashworth’s fifth full-length, Vs. Children, which is due next month. Click here for my full review.
