Etiquette is a studio album by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, released in 2006. [5] Etiquette is thought by many to have slightly abandoned the simple lo-fi "made in a basement" sound by including a more diverse range of instruments and a marginally higher production quality than previous albums.
