Every now and again, you come across an act that is truly unique and inspiring. It's not often that it happens, but when it does, it's incredibly rewarding. Enter Adelaide's Cape.
This nu-folk performer / sometimes duo / sometimes band is astoundingly good. Effectively, Adelaide's Cape is frontman Sam Taylor and a selection of other occasional musicians, most prominently percussionist and singer Hannah Richardson. Born as a school-related musical project on the outskirts of Norwich back in '06, the past twelve months has seen Adelaide's Cape become quickly established as part of the London wave of acoustic-slash-indie-slash-folk scene to massive acclaim.
After signing to independent alternative label Dustbowl Records a few months ago, Adelaide's Cape released their debut 'Curled / Harbour' as a free double A-side digital single. You can download the two tracks here for free: 1) Curled / 2) Harbour.
2010 is set to be a year of excitement for Adelaide's Cape as they release their debut EP on with a bang at London's Luminaire on March 6th, tickets for which can be purchased here. Joining Adelaide's Cape for this gig are Pete Roe, Laish Quartet and Alex Sheppard. Adelaide's Cape take to the road at the end of March, with a full UK / Irish tour, details of which will be announced soon.
You can listen to the track 'Rush Hour Wind' from their forthcoming EP via the YouTube video below.
Adelaide's Cape are definitely ones to watch in 2010, so get a head start and check them out over on MySpace, Last.fm and Facebook.
