• Album review: Cavetown’s ‘Running With Scissors’ | The Queen's Journal | Jan. 23, 2026, 1 p.m.
Viral albums like Lemon Boy (2018) and Animal Kingdom (2019) grew Cavetown’s YouTube subscriptions into the millions, cementing him as a god of indie pop into the early 2020s. While I was excited to reconnect with my high school, ukulele-toting self when Cavetown released their sixth album, Running With Scissors, on Jan. 16, I ultimately found myself disappointed. Despite some lyrical growth and experimentation, Cavetown remains a product of their time—a sweet trip down memory lane, but nothing new as we approach 2030.
