Cavetown has released a new full-length album titled ‘Running With Scissors’, now available via Futures Music Group. Created by UK-born artist Robin Skinner, the project reflects a period of personal and creative change, bringing together electronic elements, layered guitars, and melodic pop songwriting. The album documents a moment of transition, with songs shaped by introspection and evolving self-understanding.
The album arrives alongside the release of “Cryptid” and its accompanying video, which Skinner developed as a narrative short film. Using the idea of hidden creatures living beneath the surface, the video examines themes of exclusion and self-definition. While informed by Skinner’s experience as a transgender artist, the imagery also speaks to broader histories of people being labeled as outsiders. Skinner notes, “I hope this feels empowering for people to sing back.”
