Watch “Rainbow Gal” by Cavetown
As several prominent album campaigns wrap up this week, with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and JADE standing out, it’s time to shift our focus from 2025 to 2026. Intriguingly, I’m encountering Cavetown for the first time. Notably, sparked by the buzz around the “Rainbow Gal” release and the exciting announcement of the “Running With Scissors” album. Dropping on January 16, 2026, this album is to be among the very first releases of the new year, making it a noteworthy addition to our upcoming music landscape.
Subsequently, after immersing myself in “Rainbow Gal,” I was instantly captivated by the song’s enchanting vibe. The soft electronic soundscape beautifully evokes nostalgic memories of classic Owl City tracks like “Fireflies” and “Vanilla Twilight.” This alluring twinkling style, Cavetown masterfuilly echoes, infusing with a hint of chiptune and also a touch of hyperpop that amplifies its charm.
In this synth-laced love song, the artist born Robin Skinner known as Cavetown delivers “Rainbow Gal“. A heartfelt reflection on his relationship. Above all captures the profound sense of comfort and stability his partner provides, even from a distance. This blend of emotion and sound creates an incredibly compelling and resonant experience.
“‘Rainbow Gal’ is like a light display turned into a song, she brings all the colour into my life,” says Cavetown – Robin Skinner.
Additionally, a captivating music video directed, edited, and coloured by Benjamin Lieber features Cavetown unwinding in his living room. In moments of introspective tranquillity. Firstly, we see him lost in thought, gazing at delicate glass objects. As sunlight gracefully streams through the window, it refracts through these crystals, casting a mesmerising spectrum of colours. Furthermore, this enchanting display prompts Cavetown to deeply reflect on his “Rainbow Gal,” inviting viewers into a world of emotion and imagination.
Take a leaf from Cavetown’s enjoyment of introspection. It is equally lovely to get lost in shimmering synth-pop such as “Rainbow Gal” for a brief few minutes during a busy, chaotic day.
