get cape. wear cape. fly

So you may know i like musicians with a conscience, and one guy who certainly has one is Sam Duckworth AKA Get cape. Wear cape. Fly.  I first saw Sam back in 2006 playing at 93 Feet East, just him, his guitar and his laptop.  I remember being captivated by his sound and that his songs really meant something.  (in a side note, the support that night was the hilarious Example who is at last getting some of the recognition he deserves!)  Anyway, four years on and Sam's about to release his third album (13th Sept, this time self-titled).  If this album is anywhere near as good as his previous efforts its going to be one of the albums of the year! 

The initial probes seem promising with first single 'Collapsing cities' (video below) seeing Sam team up with drum'n'bass man, Shy FX.  When i heard this i was expecting something much heavier, but to be honest its in a pretty similar vein to some of his early stuff, but i'm not complaining......cos its great!!  Another early feeler, album track 'Morning Light', which was released as a free download, provides more encouragement.  Here are also a couple of tracks which will be B-sides when 'Collapsing Cities' is released next week.  The first is a brilliant cover of said single and the other is a brilliant version of the Justice hit, D.A.N.C.E.  Enjoy!!

Morning light - Get cape. Wear cape. Fly
Collapsing Cities (Jakwob remix) - Get cape. Wear cape. Fly
D.A.N.C.E. - Get cape. Wear cape. Fly (Justice cover)
