Casiotone for the Painfully Alone - Roberta C (version)

Part of Tomlab's Alphabet 7" series, this new version of Twinkle Echo's "Roberta C" is slightly, and most effectively different. It has better beats, better vocals -almost tom waits-like-, actual strings that turn the whole song into a charming piece, strongly underlining Owen Ashworth's punchline : "true love is hard to find". If this song (along with its casio-free b-side) hints towards the sound of the next Casiotone for the Painfully Alone record, it should be a huge step forwards for the guy, and something worth waiting for.
