Beabadoobee has premiered “Switchblade,” a new song from her upcoming album, Pylon.

“‘Switchblade’ takes its central metaphor and pulls it apart thoroughly, wondering whether ‘self-defense is to be brave/ Do you start the fight/ Or take the flight?'” a press release reads. “The song has no clear answers, with beabadoobee emphatically past the point at which she thought she could ever have everything figured out.”

Beabadoobee also sings, “Either seether with this anger,” which may remind listeners of the Veruca Salt song “Seether.”

Pylon, the follow-up to 2024’s This Is How Tomorrow Moves, arrives Sept. 18. The album also includes the single “Sun Has Set.”

A video for “Switchblade” is available on YouTube and contains uncensored profanity.

Beabadoobee will launch a U.S. arena tour in October.
