beabadoobee Announces New Album ‘Pylon’ With Raw New Single ‘Sun Has Set’

beabadoobee is entering a louder chapter.

Acclaimed singer-songwriter beabadoobee has announced her fourth studio album Pylon, arriving September 18th via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records, while also releasing its first single Sun Has Set, a track that immediately signals a sharper, more confrontational direction.

Following the success of This Is How Tomorrow Moves, which debuted at number one in the UK and reached the Top 10 in Australia, Pylon arrives carrying a different energy.

The record takes its name from the electricity towers that line highways and city edges, structures that became unexpectedly symbolic for Beatrice Laus while spending years moving through long stretches of touring and isolation.

The title goes further than geography

Across the album, those towering structures become a metaphor for repetition, uncertainty and the uncomfortable questions that often arrive in your twenties, the feeling of moving forward while wondering whether anything actually changes.

That tension sits at the centre of first single Sun Has Set, speaking about the song, Laus explained:

“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.”

Musically, Pylon pushes deeper into the heavier side of Bea’s influences, pulling from grunge, Midwest emo and ‘90s alternative rock while keeping the intimacy that has defined her work to this point.

The guest list reflects that ambition, the record includes appearances from Hayley Williams, Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates, Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones frontman Chino Moreno and Title Fight’s Shane Moran, while Write Me A Letter features production contributions from Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975.

The album will also launch alongside the Powerlines Tour, beabadoobee’s biggest run to date and her first arena headline shows.
