Brand new, still sealed. Running with Scissors is the sixth studio album by English singer-songwriter Cavetown. It was released on 16 January 2026 by Futures Music Group, his first full-length release with the label. After releasing his fifth album Worm Food in 2022, he wished to take a stylistic departure from his previous bedroom pop music and attract new followers while still retaining many of his older ones. Running with Scissors was the first album Cavetown produced with collaborators in a professional recording studio. Described variously as a hyperpop, bedroom pop, dream pop, pop-punk, and alternative pop album, it primarily discusses themes of adolescence, self-discovery, anxiety, Cavetown's experiences as a trans man, and his romantic relationship. Upon its release, the album received mostly positive reviews from critics, welcoming his stylistic change. It charted at number 19 on the Scottish Albums Chart and in the top 100 on the UK Albums Chart, as well as placing on several other minor charts.
