Beabadoobee will return with a new studio album, Pylon, set for release on September 18 through Dirty Hit. The announcement is paired with a striking video for the lead single, “Sun Has Set”, and a wide international tour that takes her from U.S. festivals to major arenas in Europe this autumn.
The music video for “Sun Has Set” adopts a first‑person perspective and follows a tense, almost cathartic scene that ends with an unexpected lull — a vivid, darkly comic moment that underlines the song’s emotional bluntness. In announcing the record, Beabadoobee framed several tracks as direct, unresolved messages she never got to deliver, giving the album a confrontational, personal edge.
Pylon leans into heavier guitar textures and late‑90s rock tones, drawing on grunge and Midwest emo influences while retaining the singer‑songwriter intimacy that marked her earlier work. The project is notable for a string of high‑profile guest appearances: collaborators include Hayley Williams, Brendan Yates (Turnstile), Evan Stephens Hall (Pinegrove), Chino Moreno (Deftones), and members of The 1975, Matty Healy and George Daniel — an eclectic lineup that broadens the record’s sonic palette and potential audience.
Below is the full tracklist for Pylon:
- 01 Pylon
- 02 Sun Has Set
- 03 Estranged

Festival appearances and arena dates will put the new material in front of varied audiences, making this release an important moment for her profile this year.
