English singer, songwriter and producer Cavetown has signed with Futures Music Group, the joint venture between Neon Gold and Avenue A Records that formed last year. His new single, “Baby Spoon,” marks the first release on the group’s frontline label, Futures.
The signing comes after considerable career success for Cavetown (born Robin Skinner), whose recent festival appearances include Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury and Lollapalooza; he has also toured with AJR, Pierce the Veil and Mother Mother, among others. To date, six of the singer’s singles have been certified platinum by the RIAA.
“Baby Spoon,” described in a press release as “a heartfelt meditation on vulnerability and self-acceptance,” was inspired by the singer’s relationship with his partner. The track and its accompanying music video are available to stream now.
“‘Baby Spoon’ is the perfect song to start this new era,” said Cavetown in a statement. “It encapsulates where I am now, specifically in my relationship with my partner. Without that relationship this song and what comes next would not exist.”
Outside of music, Cavetown, who is trans, has raised more than $650,000 for LGBTQ+ organizations through his “This Is Home” initiative.
“Cavetown is a singular, generational talent and exactly the kind of visionary artist we founded Futures to champion,” said Davies and Wallace, who serve as Futures’ co-CEOs, in a joint statement. “It’s a true privilege to partner with Robin on what we very much believe to be his boldest and most transformative record yet.”

“I’m so excited to be working with the team at Futures!” Cavetown added of the signing. “I love their excitement for my new music and I look forward to that translating into a celebration of where I am in my career. All my previous music has felt like chapters — this feels like a new book. Excited for what the future holds at Futures (pun intended).”
Launched in October 2024 and distributed through Virgin, Futures Music Group was founded by Neon Gold’s Derek Davies and Avenue A’s Dave Wallace, with artists including Mt. Joy, Good Neighbors, Phantogram, The Knocks, Barns Courtney and Palace on its roster. The label group signs artists to license-based deals, allowing them to retain ownership of their masters, with a royalty split of 50/50 between the label and artist. The company has also pledged to give points on every master, from the label’s share, to any non-producing and non-performing songwriter. Davies, Wallace and chief marketing officer/GM Sarah Kesselman were included on Billboard‘s 2025 Indie Power Players list.
