beabadoobee announces Pylon, her fourth album, out September 18 via Dirty Hit/Interscope Records, alongside new single and video Sun Has Set.
The follow-up to her UK No.1 album This Is How Tomorrow Moves, the 14-track record pushes Beatrice Laus into a harsher, more forceful guitar space, pulling from grunge, midwest emo, ’90s radio rock, and distorted alt-rock pressure.
Named after the electricity towers seen across major roads, Pylon uses the image as both connection point and warning signal: distance from home, tour isolation, and the repetitive anxieties of early adulthood running through the album’s frame.
Sun Has Set opens that world with diary-like directness. Laus describes the track as built from things she “wish I could have said to someone,” turning resentment and tunnel vision into something blunt, melodic, and emotionally wired.
Laus says:
A lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone. This song has this petty tunnel vision—it’s like, I hate you. You’re gonna stay here and listen to how much I hate you. Because I never got to say that.
The album also features Hayley Williams, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, and Title Fight’s Shane Moran, with Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975 contributing production on Write Me A Letter.
beabadoobee will take Pylon into her first arena run with The Powerlines Tour, starting October 1 across North America, the UK, and Europe, including Madison Square Garden, The Kia Forum, The O2, AFAS Live, Zenith Paris, and more.
For an artist already past the “rising” label, Pylon looks like the heavier reset: bigger rooms, rougher edges, and no interest in smoothing out the voltage.
