Running With Scissors Lyrics & Tracklist – Cavetown, Featuring Chloe Moriondo

Album Overview

Running With Scissors is the sixth full-length album by English singer‑songwriter Robin Skinner, known professionally as Cavetown. Released January 16, 2026, through Futures Music Group, the album marks a continued evolution in Skinner’s musical trajectory; expanding from his trademark lo‑fi indie pop and bedroom pop roots into a broader alternative and indie rock palette. The record blends electronic elements, pop‑punk textures, and introspective songwriting, showcasing both nostalgic humility and adventurous sonic exploration.

The creative process for the album involved collaborations with a number of writers and producers, reflecting a collaborative energy distinct from earlier, more solitary bedroom recordings. Themes across the album include personal growth, identity, intimate relationships, and navigation of life on the road. The album sits at approximately 34 minutes in length and contains thirteen tracks, including the collaborative single “Sailboat” featuring Chloe Moriondo.

Musical Style and Themes

Cavetown’s music on Running With Scissors maintains the emotional honesty and melodic sensibility he is known for, while incorporating more diverse stylistic elements. Tracks like “Rainbow Gal” and “NPC” bring digital‑leaning sounds, hyperpop inflections, and pop‑punk energy, while songs such as “Micah” and “No Bark No Bite” revert to more reflective, guitar‑based indie forms. The album’s narrative threads explore self‑reflection, fluctuating mental states, and the vulnerability of connection — themes that have been central to Skinner’s work but now expressed through richer arrangements and collaborative input.
