Musician Robin Skinner, who records under the name Cavetown, has released a new single titled “Big Strong Man” accompanied by a music video. The song examines themes of queer identity, teenage masculinity, and the pressure to meet external expectations.
Skinner noted that the track stems from the same period of his life as his earlier song “Boys Will Be Bugs.” The new release reflects on the experience of being accepted for a version of oneself that does not feel authentic.
The track comes after the release of the album Running With Scissors, which includes the previously released tracks “Rainbow Gal,” “Baby Spoon,” “NPC,” and “Tarmac.” The project combines elements of bedroom pop and pop-punk.
Cavetown is set to begin a headline tour across North America starting September 21 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The tour features indie-pop artist Chloe Moriondo as support and will include stops in cities such as Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.
The upcoming tour wraps up at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York on October 25. The run follows recent milestone appearances for Skinner, including a performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
