Cavetown’s Robin Skinner, of Cambridge, England, has become an anchor for a generation of listeners who’ve found not just solace in his music, but a kind of spiritual room to grow up in. His catalog, spanning lo‑fi ditties and indie rock charmers, has amassed billions of streams, earned a 6× Platinum certification, and inspired high-profile features in the New York Times, Rolling Stone and Billboard. His global touring career has taken him from sold‑out clubs to massive tours with AJR and Pierce The Veil, as well as festival main stages at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, Primavera Sound, and many more. Along the way, his songs have become comfort objects to his dedicated fans, who have clasped them, cried to them, and grown up alongside them. They’ve been soft hands offering understanding when the world felt too sharp.

His new project explores what happens when you leave that room you grew up in and finally look yourself squarely in the eye? With all these lessons and questions in tow, this upcoming record captures life at the moment you’re forced out of the classroom into the open world, scissors in hand, trying not to fall.

While this new era marks a clear evolution in artistry and maturity, Skinner hasn’t lost sight of the millions of listeners who have grown up alongside him. “I want them to enter this new era with me and not feel like it’s for kids. Because I’m not a kid anymore,” he says. “I want it to feel like we’re moving forward together.”
