Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly - Daylight Robbery

REVIEW TWO. Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. Yeah, it was alright. Not as good as The Subways one, but still good. Was gonna give it 3.5 but thought that sounded a bit like I couldn't make up my mind, so 3/5 it is.

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, otherwise known as Sam Duckworth, has come a long way since being signed in 2006. Now on his fifth LP, Duckworth has even grown to include a live band behind him, far removed from the days of just him and his computer.  Latest single Daylight Robbery is taken from recent album Maps.

On first listen, the thing that is probably most noticeable about this track is the use of “woo.” Listen deeper, and you find the arrangement is light and upbeat, and the lyrics are honest but charming, as has come to be a feature of Duckworth’s music. There’s no doubting how much this track will grow with a live band behind it on stage.

The only danger with this bigger sound is the fear that Duckworth may begin to sound like any generic ‘indie’ band. For the time being however, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly are safe in the knowledge that they’re still unique, and still on form.

3/5
