Cavetown Releases New Album Running With Scissors, Drops Powerful “Cryptid” Video and Announces Limited Tour

Cavetown, the moniker of UK-born artist Robin Skinner, has released his highly anticipated new album Running With Scissors via Futures Music Group, marking a bold and emotionally expansive new chapter in his career. Blending hyper-pop textures, heavy guitars, and Cavetown’s signature dream-pop sensibility, the album captures the disorienting transition between youth and adulthood, shaped by themes of healing, love, identity, and self-discovery. Arriving alongside the album is the empowering lead single and music video “Cryptid,” a poignant short film reflecting Skinner’s experience as a transgender person while offering a broader commentary on how marginalized communities are often cast as “other.” In celebration of the release, Cavetown has also announced a limited run of Running With Scissors Tour headline shows in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn, with $1 from every ticket supporting LGBTQ+ community organizations through PLUS1. Together, the album, video, and tour underscore Cavetown’s continued artistic growth and deep commitment to advocacy, connection, and community.
