On his major label debut, 2007's CHRONICLES OF A BOHEMIAN TEENAGER, young British singer-songwriter Sam Duckworth dons the oddly named guise of Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly., and offers up a heartfelt set that bridges the difference between emo-rock and indie-pop. Clearly the work of a restless and creative mind, CHRONICLES boasts inventive acoustic-guitar-based arrangements (see "An Oak Tree," a slightly jazzy tune, and the passionate "War of the Worlds"), which occasionally echo fellow U.K. eccentric Badly Drawn Boy.
