Pitchfork

Sad sacks, you have your orders: gather en masse at this summer's string of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone gigs, and collectively ponder just what there is to be glum about. If you're alone in a crowd at one of Owen Ashworth's many summer dates-- including one this weekend at New York City's Popfest-- well, this misanthropy of yours may be endemic. Get some sun, Poindexter!

Speaking of which, Ashworth's website promises a stint of Sunshine State-only dates in the fall, with a Nova Scotian Land Mission tour to follow.

Two more things to note: Owen will be hawking a limited edition Antenna Farm Records 7" at the following gigs, and all dates feature Ashworth's stubbornly rad backing band, the Donkeys. Painfully alone my ass!
