A little update

Hey

Hope you’re all well and bracing yourselves for the weather (Glastonbury bound or not.)

Things are good here, just beavering away in the studio working on various bits and bobs.

The first of these to come along is an album called The Mannequin

It’s a collection of songs I wrote over the course of the last Get Cape… tour. They’re an aural scrapbook of my ideas and thoughts, a little more stripped back and lyrically in a different place to my previous albums. As a result, i present to you my first moniker. Sam Duckworth.

I have an album launch show coming up in July at the lexington, where I will be playing the album through. There’s also a space for me at the Splendour festival where I will be giving these songs an outing a little further up the M1.

Vinyl junkie? It seems a growing proportion of you are, myself included. I’m pleased to finally have an 180gsm album out in the world. To be honest it doesn’t sound too much better but the artwork looks cool bigger and its always fun to play. You can get it at the following location if you like:

Get Cape. Wear Cape Fly. – Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly – Limited to 1000 copies 180gram audiophile vinyl

Have a great june and enjoy glastonbury either on the tele or down in the trenches. Maybe catch you in a field or at the lexington soon.

In the words of Zack Ryder… Take care, spike your hair.
