Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. feat Shy FX - Collapsing Cities

Single Review by Euan Ferguson | 09 Aug 2010
Single title: Collapsing Cities
Artist: Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. feat Shy FX
Label: Cooking Vinyl
Release date: 9 August 2010

Since stepping out from his bedroom in 2006, Get Cape… (aka Sam Duckworth) has never quite fitted the singer/songwriter mould, and the intricate rhythms and spacey instrumentation of some of his earlier work (The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager, for example) suggest that this collaboration isn’t quite as odd as it first appears. Ragga jungle pioneer Shy FX loops an unhurried jump-up beat and some (is it off-putting to say Mark Ronson-esque?) orchestration – horns and strings – and lets the caped composer deliver an unaffected, catchy and very decent song, the first single from a new album due later this year.
