Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. has posted a live video for his new single, VHS Forever.
The song is lifted from 'Young Adult', Sam Duckworth's first album in four years, which is due out on January 19 through Xtra Mile Recordings. Speaking about it, he said:
"VHS Forever is probably the most absurd of the songs on the album. It’s a little bit of fun really. So much of the music that I’ve made previously has been quite heavy and quite political. I just wanted to write a song that highlighted the ridiculousness of feeling like all eras are being relived and rehashed at once, perpetual nostalgia. With one foot in pub rock (especially DR Feelgood) and another in britpop, I wanted to write a 3 chord pub rock song that was fun and didn’t take itself too seriously.
For me it’s odd because now I’m 31 years old, and the fashion of the current age looks exactly the same as the fashion of the age when I was growing up. Being an artist that’s been around for a long time a lot of people say to me: ‘I used to remember you from my primary school’ and I just think, well I’m talking to adults who remember me from their childhood, when in some ways I still feel like I’m still a child myself. [In ‘VHS Forever’] I’m just trying to wrap it all up into a nice little bubble in a way that doesn’t feel too heavy.”
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. will perform with a full live band at the Village Underground in London on January 18. Tickets are on sale now.
