“I speak about very genuine things and very personal things that I personally find hard to say”
Robin Skinner makes music by himself, in his bedroom under the name CAVETOWN, but his songs belong to the world.
Fans see themselves in Skinner’s music: tales of love and loss, of yearning to make sense of life. For three minutes at a time, listeners feel less alone inside his songs, finding comfort in times of chaos and confusion.
Cavetown’s fourth album, LEMON BOY, puts Skinner’s effortless, bright melodies and economic songwriting on full display. From the looping folk-pop title track (with an inventive music video that’s racked up 1.2 million YouTube views) to the uke-meets-electronica “Fool” and jazzy “888,” it’s an intimate, calming collection that displays a songwriting craft far beyond his years. Most importantly, it’s from the heart.
“I speak about very genuine things and very personal things that I personally find hard to say,” Skinner explains. “That’s why I write a song about it. I think people relate to that: Sometimes they can’t put things into words, but when they hear a song about it, they can point to that.”
HUNNY
LA quartet HUNNY walk a tightrope between pop and emo, following in the footsteps of bands like The Cure, Paramore and Depeche Mode. Debut album “Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.” takes you on a journey through heart-wrenching lyrics, engulfed by colourful melodies with nods to eighties hits and nillies poppunk. The band themselves claim the album’s fil rouge is feeling like “I love you and I want to die”. This is indierock at its most flamboyant, with no fear for bringing out the big gestures. It’s music made by and for people with big hearts.
