Cavetown
Eine Ankerstimme für eine Generation
Cavetown’s Robin Skinner, of Cambridge, England, has become an anchor for a generation of listeners who’ve found not just solace in his music, but a kind of spiritual room to grow up in. His catalog, spanning lo‑fi ditties and indie rock charmers, has amassed billions of streams, earned a 6× Platinum certification, and inspired high-profile features in the New York Times, Rolling Stone and Billboard. His global touring career has taken him from sold‑out clubs to massive tours with AJR and Pierce The Veil, as well as festival main stages at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, Primavera Sound, and many more. Along the way, his songs have become comfort objects to his dedicated fans, who have clasped them, cried to them, and grown up alongside them. They’ve been soft hands offering understanding when the world felt too sharp.
His new album, Running With Scissors, asks: What happens when you leave that room you grew up in and finally look yourself squarely in the eye? What are the gifts and curses you’ve inherited from the family who raised you? Which parts of them do you bring forward, and which do you cut away? With all these lessons and questions in tow, Running With Scissors captures life at the moment you’re forced out of the classroom into the open world, scissors in hand, trying not to fall.
Written on the other side of an intensive two‑year healing process, Running With Scissors finds Skinner aged up and galvanized. That bravery extends to the songwriting itself: the album is threaded with intergenerational tension, familial excavation, and an unflinching exploration of who Skinner wants to become as an adult. These questions were prompted by two major life events: falling in love with the person he wants to start a family with, and the birth of his first sibling, who is 26 years his junior.
Aufbruch ins Erwachsenwerden
The relationship that inspired love-dazed opener ‘Skip’ is the album’s brightest throughline, a song Skinner calls “one of the first love songs I’ve written with positive overtones…because I’ve fallen in love for real this time.” In its bounce and candor, the track channels the joy of “wanting to skip around, like you’re a little kid.” But Running With Scissors doesn’t linger in any one emotional register for long. As “Skip” ends, its final chord dovetails directly into the darker, more jagged opening of “Cryptid,” where love transforms into righteous fury. “Something new I’m bringing into this album is spite,” Skinner says. “I think I owe it to love to realize how much I care about things…This song is where those two feelings meet.”
Klangwelten und innere Konflikte
The songs embrace this tension between love and anger: whispers break into screams, warm arpeggios bounce off sinister basslines, acoustic melodies and nature‑based field recordings collide with hyperpop glitches and math rock. Most noticeably, Skinner’s newfound sense of righteous anger has unlocked new parts of his voice. Where it was once a soft stream, Skinner’s vocal now stretches and snaps with wild abandon and enormous range, the result of recent vocal coaching and deeper emotional excavation. “I wanted to make myself sound more brave,” he says, “and I wanted to impress people with my voice, like, ‘wow, he’s actually got some pipes.’”
Künstlerische Entwicklung und Partnerschaften
That same sense of upheaval runs through Skinner’s career. After years with Warner Records, he has joined Futures Music Group, further underlining this period of renewal. The album also marks a major creative milestone: for the first time in his career, Skinner invited collaborators into the core creative process. Running With Scissors features contributions from Chloe Moriondo, Ryan Raines, David Pramik, Couros, and Underscores, artists who’ve helped expand Skinner’s sonic palette in unexpected and vitalizing ways, pulling the carpet from underneath his long-entrenched universe, and making it fly.
Mut, Liebe und Zukunft
At every turn, Running With Scissors marks a clear evolution in artistry and maturity for Skinner. Love songs like “Baby Spoon” explore care, intimacy and softness in the wild dance with masculinity. Elsewhere, “No Bark, No Bite” turns extra angsty and inward, examining family history with the curiosity of someone considering their potential future as a parent and raising a family of his own, for the first time. “I’ve been reflecting on the traits I’ve picked up from my parents,” he says, “and thinking about which of those parts I want to take into adulthood and which parts I want to discard for the future of myself, my partner, and our future family.”
Gemeinsam nach vorne: Fans und Zukunft
Aged up and showing up as the best version of himself, Skinner hasn’t lost sight of the millions of listeners who have grown up alongside him. “I want them to enter this new era with me and not feel like it’s for kids. Because I’m not a kid anymore,” he says. “I want it to feel like we’re moving forward together.”
