beabadoobee Unveils Pylon, A Soulful New Chapter of Pop
Indie powerhouse beabadoobee is ready to launch into new territory with the announcement of their fifth studio album, Pylon. Following the success of 2024’s This Is How Tomorrow Moves, Pylon is set to arrive on September 18th via Dirty Hit/Interscope. This record isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a deep dive into the complex emotional landscape that defines beabadoobee’s distinctive sound.
The album itself promises a rich tapestry of introspection, featuring tracks like Sun Has Set and Estranged. Lead single Sun Has Set immediately sets a reflective tone, exploring themes of unexpressed feelings and the sting of missed opportunities. The lyrics delve into that feeling of petty tunnel vision—a stark acknowledgment of what remains unspoken, making the track a poignant reflection on regret and internal conflict.
The sonic architecture of Pylon is amplified by a collection of impressive collaborators. The album features contributions from a diverse group of artists, including Hayley Williams (Paramore), Brendan Yates (Turnstile), Chino Moreno (Deftones), Evan Stephens Hall (Pinegrove), Shane Moran (Title Fight), and Andrew Fisher (Basement). This cross-pollination of talent adds layers of grit, melody, and raw emotion to the project.
Further enhancing the album’s production is the involvement of major names in the music scene. Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975 contributed production to the track “Write Me a Letter,” lending an undeniable edge and polish to the soundscape. This blend of experimental indie sensibility and polished pop creates a truly unique listening experience.
Beyond the studio, beabadoobee is gearing up for an epic live adventure with the Powerlines Tour. This tour marks their first arena run and promises to bring the emotional depth of Pylon to massive venues. The journey will be accompanied by exciting support from fellow artists Wisp and Violet Grohl, offering a truly dynamic experience for fans.
Fans eager to immerse themselves in the new music can preorder the album, including the Sea Foam green vinyl, directly through the official shop. The full tracklist includes songs such as Switchblade, Write Me A Letter, and Satellite, promising a journey of powerful, honest sound.
The tour dates are already filling up, with major stops including performances at the Madison Square Garden on October 5th in New York City. Mark your calendars for these unforgettable moments as beabadoobee and their supporting acts bring Pylon to life across the country.
