On September 13th Sam Duckworth aka Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly will be releasing his new self-titled album on CD, digital download and a special iTunes version.
'Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly' was written and recorded over two years at his Hoxton base and Brixton’s Dairy Studios alongside co-producer Dean James. He built tracks around basic acoustic melodies and added reams of electronic layers that saw the tunes spiral off in ever more elaborate and exotic directions, inspired by a new love for hip-hop and a rediscovered passion for drum’n’bass.
The record that emerged is the point where Sam Duckworth dons the cape and flies. It’s as imaginative, broad of genre and adventurous as the best of MIA, taking in big beat hits as heard on ‘Collapsing Cities’, the first single taken from the album, Swedish pop bangers ‘Nightlife’, ‘All Of This Is Yours’, which shuffles marvellously along like Gorillaz’ ‘Clint Eastwood’. The album is an elasticated world music wonder.
Embedded in this record are an abundance of quasi-political themes, ideas and concerns and Sam expands on them at length. From the shedding of mankind’s global responsibility to attacks on the greed of the banking system, the unifying nature of poverty-stricken communities, the emancipating possibilities of the internet for China and Iran, the BNP losing every council seat in the election plus the power of the protesters in Kent who forced the closure of a planned power station in Kings North.
