Set to deliver a career spanning set across her acclaimed albums This Is How Tomorrow Moves (UK #1,
AU #6), Beatopia and Fake It Flowers, Laus has made clear this era is louder, angstier and grittier than
anything she has shared as beabadoobee yet. She recently gave her string of singles ‘Sun Has Set’,
‘Switchblade’ and ‘Memories’ their live debut across recent appearances at Lollapalooza and Hinterland
festivals, and the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Bea’s live resume catapulted 2025 in with her “winsome” Coachella debut (The Guardian), a second
Glastonbury appearance, recounted by Billboard as a “thrilling” homegrown set, a stadium run with
Coldplay in the UK and the Laneway Festival tour locally. While in Melbourne, she and Clairo treated
fans to a one-off rendition of their collaboration ‘Glue Song’, alongside a Bic Runga approved reinvention
of ‘Sway’ for triple j’s Like A Version – “I love this version!”
Pylon, beabadoobee’s stark and striking fourth album is named for the electricity towers that dot every
major artery in the world—the strong, spindly structures that reminded Beatrice Laus of her connection to
friends and family at home while she was staring down extreme disconnection and isolation on tour over
the past few years. A set of songs that began as diary entries and words that Laus thought she’d never
say aloud.
The title can also be read as an allusion to Laus’ spiky, forceful new sound—the waves of distortion that
crash and shatter across this record’s 14 songs, mirroring the intense crackle you hear when walking
under power lines. The pylon is also a fitting symbol for an album that reckons with the repetitive anxieties
of your mid-twenties: What if I’m always going to be this way? What if life is just pylon after pylon on the
road?
