The singer-songwriter will release her fourth album and the follow-up to 2024’s ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’ on September 18 via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records. It is available to pre-order and pre-save here.
She has also shared ‘Sun Has Set’, which sees Beabadoobee showing off the heaviest side of her music to date, channelling grunge, midwest emo and ‘90s alt-rock with chunky guitar power chords and provocative vocals.
Check out the video for ‘Sun Has Set’, directed by Jake Erland, here:
Speaking about the track, Beabadoobee has said: “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.”
‘Pylon’ also features a number of high-profile collaborators, including Hayley Williams on ‘Nothing To Prove’ and Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates on ‘Powerlines’.
Elsewhere, the album includes contributions from Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones’ Chino Moreno and Title Fight’s Shane Moran, while Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975 produced ‘Write Me A Letter’.
The tracklist for ‘Pylon’ is:
‘Pylon’
‘Sun Has Set’

‘Switchblade’
‘Write Me A Letter’
‘It’s Alright’

‘Pylon’ follows ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’ in 2024. In a four-star review, NME wrote: “A collection of songs that showcase the tangled feelings of this time, the young artist’s third record is a poignant, powerful thing.”
Earlier this year, she also teamed up with The Marías on the one-off single ‘All I Did Was Dream Of You’, which arrived with a video inspired by Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, and covered Elliott Smith’s ‘Say Yes’ for the War Child compilation ‘Help(2)’.
