[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]
Six time Platinum-selling indie artist Cavetown (Robin Skinner) returns with “NPC,” the fourth single from his forthcoming album Running With Scissors, out January 16. The track finds Skinner transforming exhaustion into empathy and the constant motion of life on tour into reflection. Rooted in restless travel and quiet introspection, “NPC” reimagines Skinner's childhood imaginary friend, Mr. Nobody, as a mirror of his adult self, always moving, never home. Written mid-tour, the pop-punk-leaning song channels the dizzying pace of modern life into an anthem of self-awareness and gentle dissociation, balancing raw honesty with the melodic warmth that has made Cavetown one of Gen Z’s most beloved storytellers. “This song came from a place of feeling detached from my own story,” Skinner shares. “It’s like I’m watching someone else play my character sometimes, traveling, performing, doing all these things I love, but wondering who’s really steering the ship.”
