Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. Jan 1, 2024

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. has never been an alternate persona for Sam Duckworth but rather an open-hearted expression of how he really feels. From the release of his debut album The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager in 2006 to the surprise return of 'Optimist' under the moniker in 2017, Get Cape's nuanced approach to politics, and consumption of underground dance music and other diverse styles, has reflected modern living as a young person in Britain. Switching names (playing under his own name or Recreations) has not diminished the impact and passion that revels within the samples, beats, guitars and choruses that deliver the rush of progress and compassion, the anger at authority and the struggle to combat injustice. Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. is tied around these post-millennial decades and offer us salvation and space to dance and be ourselves, just as it does for Sam. 2018’s Young Adult more than exemplifies his approach, reflecting instead of shouting from the rooftops, and it stays upbeat and kind, bringing heart, soul and love to a society that is doing its utmost to reject such things.
