Beabadoobee has announced her hugely anticipated new album Pylon, which is available to pre-order and pre-save now, and due for release on 18 September via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records.
The follow up to her UK #1 album This Is How Tomorrow Moves, the stark and striking fourth album by beabadoobee is named for the electricity towers that dot every major artery in the world – the strong, spindly structures that reminded Beatrice Laus of her connection to friends and family at home while she was staring down extreme disconnection and isolation on tour over the past few years.
The title can also be read as an allusion to Laus’ spiky, forceful new sound – the waves of distortion that crash and shatter across this record’s 14 songs mirroring the intense crackle you hear when walking under power lines. The pylon is also a fitting symbol for an album that reckons with the repetitive anxieties of your mid-twenties: “What if I’m always going to be this way? / What if life is just pylon after pylon on the road?”
The album’s first single is available to stream and buy now: Sun Has Set introduces Pylon as, in essence, a set of songs that began as diary entries, words that Laus thought she’d never be able to say out loud. “A lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone,” she says. “This song (Sun Has Set) has a pretty 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 stay that.”
The single is accompanied by a striking first person video directed by Bea’s partner and longtime visual collaborator Jake Erland.
