Text Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, new album, single “Old Panda Days” [mp3+pic]

Casiotone’s new album “Advance Base Battery Life” is a compilation of singles/rarities from 2004-2007. I saw CFTPA last year in Madison, WI and realized that although I love his music, Casiotone is meant to be enjoyed…alone (on headphones).

The first single “Old Panda Days” is a winner…and as the Daytrotter Sessions with the Donkey’s revealed, CFTPF is an exceptional songwriter, but is limited in his arrangements. “OPD” is more refined than many of his older solo efforts, featuring a softly spoken duet of sorts with Nick Krgovich, which reminded me of another drum machine lo-fi cut “Sweet Suspense” ft. Kyle Fischer, and Khaela Maricich from The Blow.
