Cavetown announces new album, Running With Scissors

Robin Skinner aka Cavetown has announced a brand-new album, Running With Scissors.

Due out on January 16 via Futures Music Group, the record hears Robin look deep inwards, and tackle subjects with a newfound sense of maturity. “I want [my fans] to enter this new era with me and not feel like it’s for kids. Because I’m not a kid anymore,” he reveals. “I want it to feel like we’re moving forward together.”

Cavetown’s also showing this approach through his vocals, explaining that, “I wanted to make myself sound more brave. And I wanted to impress people with my voice, like, ‘Wow, he’s actually got some pipes.’”

Check out new single Rainbow Gal below, which he says is like a “light display turned into a song, she brings all the colour into my life”.
