While its parent album has been out since last September, Essex-based Get Cape Wear Cape Fly has released their latest single, i-spy. Here we go bending that ‘no emo’ rule, but at least you won’t find any broken hearts in this track. Trawling through YouTube, I found this live performance of the single, recorded at a reasonable quality level.

I could do without the vocal droops at the end of his phrasing, but I like what the kid is doing. His sound is reminiscent of Dashboard Confessional (I’m sure he’s sick of that comparison), but with a hint of accent and more keyboard samples. He also seems to realize that not every song needs to be written in the second person. To a girl. About relationships. Worth tracking this one down.
