Owen Ashworth used to release his lo-fi keyboard pop under the name Casiotone for the Painfully
Alone, but these days he calls it Advance Base.
Walking the line between electronic music & traditional singer/songwriter forms, Ashworth writes
minimalist, heavy-hearted, & nostalgia-obsessed songs of longing & regret. His conversational,
baritone vocals sing stories of hard-luck Midwesterners & their demons amid swirls of electric pianos,
Omnichords, drum machines & samples.
Advance Base's second album, Nephew in the Wild, was named #1 Indie Pop album of 2015 by
PopMatters.
