Get Cape Wear Cape Fly was the project of Sam Duckworth, who started putting out music in the mid-2000s. The debut album 'The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager' came out in 2006, mixing folk and electronic elements with sparse arrangements. Songs like 'Call Me Ishmael' and 'All Falls Down' had a quiet, introspective quality that stood out from louder indie rock at the time.
Duckworth worked with a small band that included Adam Powell on bass, Jake Turner on drums, and Alex McIntyre on keyboards. They put out a few more records, including 'Searching for the Hows and Whys' and 'Young Adult' in 2010. The music often dealt with personal themes, and later tracks like 'All Of This Is Yours' featured guest vocals from Baaba Maal.
After the initial burst of activity, things slowed down. The project name hasn't been used much in recent years, though Duckworth has kept making music under his own name. Those early albums still turn up in conversations about that particular moment in British indie music, when bedroom recording and acoustic guitars met electronic beats.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
