Running With Scissors

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Running With Scissors” arrives in New York as part of Cavetown’s recent turn away from the DIY, bedroom-pop methods that first defined his sound. Built with studio collaborators and a cleaner rock/pop frame, the song favors structure and dynamics over lo-fi intimacy, while keeping his plainspoken writing close to the surface. Heard at Rough Trade NYC, it reads as a document of an artist testing what changes and what stays. One could argue the tension between polish and vulnerability is the point.
