beabadoobee has today released brand new single ‘Memories’, the latest track to be lifted from her hugely anticipated forthcoming album Pylon, set to be released on September 18th.
Bea describes ‘Memories‘ as “one of the happiest songs on the album,” but one where she falls deep into a spiral of romanticising bygone moments, “clinging onto ideas that should make me happy but actually make me feel sad, because I wish they were just moments I lived in forever.”
The song is indicative of the raw and sometimes uncomfortably real songwriting on Pylon, a record that’s more wide-ranging and complex than anything that she has ever put out – a tannic rock record that is, at various points, angry, lonesome, ecstatic, depressed and deeply, pathologically in love. Laus, who poured her life into songs as a teenager for the world to hear, says the album is the result of writing alone in hotel rooms, which “reminded me a lot of how I wrote songs at 17, alone in my bedroom, feeling sad as fuck.”
