This spring, beabadoobee and the Marías finally made good on their longtime mutual admiration with the dreamy single “All I Did Was Dream of You.” Now, the artist born Beatrice Laus is opening the next chapter of her own story.
The singer/songwriter will release her fourth album, Pylon, on Sept. 18 via Dirty Hit and Interscope. The follow-up to 2024’s U.K. chart-topper This Is How Tomorrow Moves is previewed by latest single “Sun Has Set” and a first-person video directed by longtime visual collaborator (and partner) Jake Erland.
“A lot of the songs on this record are things I wish I could have said to someone,” Laus says of “Sun Has Set,” one of several tunes that originated as diary entries. “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.”
Named after the towering electrical structures that line highways around the world, Pylon grew out of the isolation Laus experienced while spending much of the last few years on the road. Those power lines became a symbolic tether to home, reminding her of family and friends even as touring left her feeling disconnected. They also inspired the record’s jagged, forceful sonic identity.
Musically, Pylon leans deeper into the rock music that has always informed Laus’ work, and the guest list reads like a dream lineup of alternative lifers. Paramore’s Hayley Williams appears on “Nothing To Prove,” an anthem about reclaiming power from fair-weather friends. Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates lends his voice to the brooding “Powerlines,” while Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, Deftones’ Chino Moreno and Title Fight’s Shane Moran also contribute. Meanwhile, Matty Healy and George Daniel of the 1975 reunite with Laus on “Write Me a Letter,” handling production duties on the track.
Laus will bring the new material on the road this fall with the Powerlines tour, her first arena trek and biggest headlining run to date. Beginning Oct. 1, the outing will take her to Madison Square Garden in New York, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and London’s O2, among other venues. Wisp will support the North American, Canadian and U.K. dates, while Violet Grohl joins the European run.
Fans can access a presale beginning June 29, with general tickets available July 2.
