Beabadoobee Pylon album release and tour

Overview

Indie-pop artist Beabadoobee released the single ‘Memories’ in late August as a preview for her upcoming album, Pylon. The single was described as having a “bright energy” while addressing themes of nostalgia.

On September 18, Beabadoobee released her fourth studio album, Pylon, via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records. The 14-track, 41-minute project marks a stylistic shift from bedroom pop toward a ‘90s grunge and Midwest emo rock aesthetic, characterized by heavy electric guitars and an angsty tone. The album uses the metaphor of power pylon static to explore anxiety, isolation, and emotional disconnection. Notable tracks include ‘Sun Has Set’, which addresses the end of friendships, and the title track ‘Pylon’, which utilizes electrical humming to underscore themes of distance.

The album features several high-profile collaborations, including Matty Healy and George Daniel on ‘Write Me A Letter’, Hayley Williams of Paramore on ‘Nothing To Prove’, Chino Moreno of Deftones on ‘Satellite’, Brendan Yates on ‘Powerlines’, and Shane Moran of Title Fight.

To support the release, the artist is performing intimate shows in London before embarking on the North American ‘Powerlines Tour’ in October. This tour marks her first time headlining major arenas, including Madison Square Garden, the Kia Forum, and the O2 Arena.
