JAKARTA - Beabadoobee this weekend announced the details of her latest album, Pylon. Currently the album can be pre-saved, which will officially be released on September 18, 2026 via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records.

Pylon continued on its journey as musicians after reaching number 1 in the UK with the album This Is How Tomorrow Moves. This fourth album is presented firmly and prominently, and is named after the electric towers that are spread across every major highway in the world - a sturdy and sleek structure.

The name reminds Beatrice Laus of her bond with friends and family at home, as she faces extreme alienation and isolation on tour in recent years.

The title can also be interpreted as a metaphor for Laus' sharp and energetic new music - the waves of distortion that rumble and crash throughout the 14 songs on this album reflect the sound of intense explosions heard while walking under power lines. The electric tower is also an apt symbol for an album that peels back the recurring anxieties of the mid-twenties.

The first single from this album is available, titled Sun Has Set. It introduces Pylon as a collection of songs that start from a diary - words that Laus says he will never be able to say out loud.

"A lot of the songs on this album are things I really want to say to someone," he said. "This song has a narrow and petty point of view - like, 'I hate you. You have to stay here and listen to how much I hate you. Because I can never say it," he said in an official release.

The single is accompanied by a striking first-person video, directed by Bea's partner and longtime visual collaborator, Jake Erland.

Always a devoted fan of pure rock music - both as something to be appreciated and as something to be explored - Laus pours these feelings into songs inspired by classic grunge, Midwest emo, and '90s radio rock, with a focus on a more raw and direct sound than previous albums.

He said that the music he loved "has always been an influence" on his music, and so for the B4 album, he went straight back to his roots. A huge amount of Beabadoobee's combined influences contributed to Pylon, a fact that reflects the goodwill and respect Laus has garnered throughout his relatively short career.

The album features special vocalist, Hayley Williams as a collaborator. She sings in "Nothing to Prove," an anthemic indie-rock song about reclaiming your power from friends who are only there when things are going well and only want a piece of your success.

The dark-tinged "Powerlines" features lyrics from Turnstile singer Brendan Yates, an expert at blending vocal power with emotional nuance. In addition, you'll also find contributions from Evan Stephens Hall of Pinegrove, Chino Moreno of Deftones, and Shane Moran of Title Fight, as well as, on the song "Write Me A Letter", production contributions from longtime friends and collaborators Laus, Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975.

Beabadoobee will perform songs from the album for the first time on the Powerlines Tour, her first arena concert and largest tour ever, which will be held in various cities in North America, the UK, and Europe this fall-winter. The Powerlines Tour will begin on October 1 and include performances at Madison Square Garden, The Kia Forum, The O2, and more (full route below). The opening act is Wisp in the US, Canada, and the UK, as well as Violet Grohl in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Tickets will be available starting from a special fan presale that starts on Monday, June 29 at 10.00 local time. Additional presales will take place throughout the week leading up to the general sale which starts on Thursday, July 2 at 10.00 local time at beabadoobee.com/live.
