From Pylon (2026). Pylon is the fourth studio album by Filipino-English singer and songwriter Beabadoobee, released on 18 September 2026 by Dirty Hit. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for beabadoobee's other songs from Pylon, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
