Cavetown

Cavetown is the project of British musician Robin Skinner, who writes and records songs under that name. He started sharing his music online as a teenager, building an audience with quiet, personal songs that felt like bedroom recordings. Early tracks like "This Is Home" and "Lemon Boy" had a homemade quality that resonated with listeners who appreciated their directness.

His 2018 album Lemon Boy brought more attention, and songs like "Juliet" and "Boys Will Be Bugs" found wider audiences through streaming. The music often deals with everyday feelings and observations, delivered in Skinner's gentle vocal style over acoustic guitar or simple arrangements. Later albums like Sleepyhead and Worm Food introduced more electronic textures while keeping the personal tone of his earlier work.

Skinner has been open about mental health challenges, which has made his music feel particularly honest to many fans. The songs don't pretend to have answers so much as document the questions, whether in the quiet worry of "Meteor Shower" or the conversational tone of "Talk To Me." This straightforward approach has built a connection with listeners who find something recognizable in the music's unpolished sincerity.
