Cavetown has released “Tarmac,” the latest single from his highly anticipated debut album ‘Running With Scissors,’ arriving January 16 via Sire Records, alongside the announcement of a major 2026 international headline tour. Co-written with Orla Gartland, “Tarmac” follows singles “Rainbow Gal” and “Baby Spoon,” showcasing Robin Skinner’s evolution into a new creative chapter as the lyrics fell out naturally during the writing session before he and Gartland figured out the meaning afterward. Skinner explains the track explores feelings of overwhelm and intrusive thoughts, hoping listeners find something that resonates with their own experiences. Produced by Skinner himself, ‘Running With Scissors’ marks a significant creative step forward, expanding his confessional songwriting into unpredictable yet heartfelt soundscapes that push further into genre-blending territory while maintaining his trademark emotional honesty. This summer Cavetown joined Pierce The Veil as a special guest on their European arena tour, including a memorable performance at London’s OVO Arena Wembley where Vic Fuentes joined him for their 2022 collaboration “a kind thing to do” from ‘worm food.’
