Pylon is the fourth studio album from beabadoobee and the sharpest left turn of her career. Following 2024's UK number one This Is How Tomorrow Moves, it swaps her dreamy indie-pop for waves of distortion, drawing on classic grunge, midwest emo and '90s radio rock across 14 tracks. The title comes from the steel electricity towers Beatrice Laus would fix on while staring down isolation on tour — a symbol of the connection to home she was missing, and a fitting name for a record built on crackling, high-voltage guitars.

Laus produced the album alongside Title Fight's Shane Moran and longtime collaborator Luca Buccellati, with The 1975's Matty Healy and George Daniel handling production on "Write Me A Letter." The guest list reads like a roll call of her heroes: Hayley Williams sings on the anthemic "Nothing To Prove," Turnstile's Brendan Yates adds a verse to "Powerlines," and Deftones' Chino Moreno, Pinegrove's Evan Stephens Hall and Title Fight's Shane Moran all turn up across the record.

Lead single "Sun Has Set" — released with a video directed by Laus' partner Jake Erland — is the loudest, angriest thing she's put out, all chunky power chords and live drums. "A lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone," she said. "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 is out 18 September 2026 via Dirty Hit and Interscope, and is available to pre-order now.
