VINYL FORMAT. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone presents "Twinkle Echo," a tiny tiger of a pop album, chock full of book-smarts, lovesick mood swings, and calculated damage; simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking, comforting and jarring. Across its 14 tracks, "Twinkle Echo" boasts Ashworth’s most mature songwriting, arrangements, and production to date, with guest appearances from Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu and contrabassist Jherek Bischoff of Seattle’s Degenerate Art Ensemble.
