Today, six time Platinum and beloved indie artist Cavetown(Robin Skinner) releases “Sailboat,” a glittering collaboration with Chloe Moriondo and co-produced by Underscoresahead of his album release. Blending chiptune sparkle with warped hyperpop textures, the track captures the nervous excitement of new love, that fragile moment when the desire to protect someone makes you hesitate to leave a mark. Built from friendship, fear of hurting someone you love, and the thrill of emotional vulnerability, “Sailboat” pairs Cavetown’sintimate storytelling with Moriondo’s warmth and Underscores’ glitchy, adventurous production.
Alongside the release, Cavetown shares the official “Sailboat” video, a dreamlike visual set on a quiet beach and co-starring Chloe Moriondo. The video mirrors the song’s emotional palette as the two drift between moments of solitude and connection, miming guitar playing and putting their feet into the water. Cavetown, whose previous albums explored the loneliness of growing up, is finally seen having fun, being vulnerable, and allowing himself to be happy, all throughlines of his forthcoming project, Running With Scissors.
Running With Scissors marks a bold and deeply personal new chapter for the trans masc singer-songwriter, diving into themes of emotional stability, identity, and growing up. With over 3.7M followers across platforms and billions of streams, Cavetown has become an anchor for a generation of listeners. Running With Scissors is poised to be one of his most expansive and resonant releases yet, blending the lo-fi intimacy his fans love with new layers of sonic experimentation.
The release also follows Cavetown’s Second Annual This Is Home Project Benefit Show at Music Hall of Williamsburg, supporting LGBTQ+ youth through housing initiatives, mental health resources, and crisis support. The long-running philanthropic effort has raised nearly $700k to date, underscoring his continued commitment to community and care.
With “Sailboat,” Cavetown once again proves his ability to transform vulnerability into connection, crafting a song that feels both delicate and daring, a quiet anthem for anyone learning how to love bravely.
