As Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Owen Ashworth played moody, keyboard heavy songs about heart-break and depression. As Advance Base, Owen Ashworth plays moody, keyboard heavy songs about heart-break and depression. Though paired with a new group of musical friends, Advance Base doesn’t stray to far from the Owen Ashworth sad-and-bearded tree. And guess what? It’s for the better. Ashworth’s sadness translates perfectly in to this rough cut little gems of melancholy pop.

Advance Base’s first album A Shut-In’s Prayer is out now on Caldo Verde.

Advance Base plays San Francisco’s Swedish American Hall with David and Joanna on Thursday, June 7th.
