Micah Lyrics – Cavetown | from “Running With Scissors”

Cavetown’s carving out space for the messy aches of growing sideways on Running With Scissors, his latest studio album slicing into shelves January 16, 2026 through Futures Music Group (a joint venture between Neon Gold and Avenue A Records), and “Micah” sneaks up like that one friend’s text at 3 a.m.—equal parts comfort and quiet devastation.

This one pulls deep from the album’s spiritual journey, weaving biblical undertones of lineage and renewal with Gorillaz’ signature eclectic sound. Featuring Anoushka Shankar’s soaring sitar lines and Pamela Jain’s evocative vocals, it creates this ethereal fusion of Indian classical elements—rolling ragas and intricate rhythms—layered over Damon’s hazy production and subtle electronic pulses. The result feels like a meditative climb: introspective lyrics exploring heritage, survival, and rebirth, all set to a beat that shifts from quiet contemplation to sweeping crescendos. It’s part of what makes The Mountain so immersive, drawing heavily from sessions in India alongside global spots like Damascus and Miami, turning the whole project into a borderless pilgrimage through sound.

Running With Scissors lives up to its name—a chaotic quilt of 40-ish minutes threading adulthood’s sharp edges with whimsy. Pulled from the vault of pandemic demos and fresh ’25 sessions, the tracklist spins tales of love’s weird shapes (“Rainbow Gal,” “Baby Spoon”) to existential glitches (“NPC,” “Reaper”), closing with the title pulse that ties it all in a bow of defiant joy. Standouts include Chloe Moriondo on “Sailboat” and that frantic “Straight Through My Head (DO IT!!!),” all under a concept of chasing connection without the cuts. It’s Cavetown ditching the teen angst of Lemon Boy for something sturdier, proving he’s still the king of turning inner turmoil into anthems that feel like group therapy.

Robin’s hitting this drop at a crossroads glow: 28, freshly out as non-binary and riding the wave of Worm Food’s 2022 intimacy that packed arenas from Brixton to Boston. Post a sold-out 2025 tour where he debuted “Micah” acoustically (fans lost it over the bridge), he’s evolving from YouTube whisperer to indie force—therapy-fueled, collab-heavy, and unafraid to let the scissors run.
