    In a move that proves some creative connections are simply meant to be, beabadoobee and The Marías recently delivered a dreamy single, “All I Did Was Dream of You.” But the creative momentum doesn’t stop there, as singer/songwriter Beatrice Laus is ready to open a brand new chapter in her story.

    Laus is gearing up for her fourth album, Pylon, which is set to drop on September 18th via Dirty Hit and Interscope. Following the success of 2024’s U.K. chart-topper This Is How Tomorrow Moves, this new record promises a sonic evolution, previewed by the latest single “Sun Has Set” and a compelling first-person video directed by longtime visual collaborator Jake Erland.

    The concept behind the album title, Pylon, draws inspiration from the towering electrical structures that crisscross the globe. For Laus, these lines evolved into a powerful symbol—a tether to home amidst the isolation experienced while on the road. The pylons served as a reminder of family and friends even as touring created a sense of disconnect, ultimately inspiring the album’s jagged, forceful identity.

    Musically, Pylon deepens Laus’ established love for rock music while inviting an eclectic lineup of alternative talent. The track “Nothing To Prove” features Paramore’s Hayley Williams, delivering an anthem about reclaiming power from temporary friendships. Brendan Yates of Turnstile lends his voice to the brooding “Powerlines,” while guests include Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, and Title Fight’s Shane Moran. Adding to the creative tapestry, Matty Healy and George Daniel of the 1975 contributed production work on the track “Write Me a Letter.”

    This new material is set to hit the road with the Powerlines tour this fall, marking Laus’ first arena trek and biggest headlining run to date. Beginning October 1st, the journey will take her to massive venues including Madison Square Garden in New York, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, and London’s O2. The tour is supported by Wisp and Violet Grohl across North America, Canada, and the U.K., with Violet Grohl joining the European leg.

    Fans can secure tickets through a presale beginning June 29th, with general tickets available July 2nd. Get ready for an experience that is both deeply personal and explosively loud.

    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.
