In a conversation with DIY Magazine, Laus had this to say, “I feel like the idea behind ‘See You Soon’ is that it’s meant to make you feel like you’re tripping on shrooms. Or, I feel like the chorus especially, I want it to sound like a breath of fresh air, like, you know, like a realisation of some sort,” explaining, “I wrote it during a time where I was away a lot and making a lot of mistakes and doing a lot of things to help me figure a lot of stuff out. And I feel like I found the importance of doing that really, it was really therapeutic because it made me appreciate everything around me so much more. Being away and being by myself with my own thoughts, it was kind of like a punch in the face. And I guess it’s just really playing along with the fact that you know, it’s okay to make mistakes, as long as it makes you a stronger person, as long as it makes everything makes sense. And it’s important to be by yourself sometimes.”

 Bea’s new album comes alongside a full world tour set to begin in the states at the end of the month. Eventually, the tour will make its way to the UK for 11 nights in October. Tickets for the shows can be found here. If you can’t wait all the way until October, then she is performing alongside the likes of Paulo Nutini, The Strokes, and Lewis Capaldi at this year’s TRNSMT festival in Scotland, or at London’s Finsbury Park with Sam Fender.

Speaking with NME earlier this month, Laus commented that her new album has, “a lot of different vibes, there’s not one song that sounds the same as the others. I’ve been really getting into a band called Stars, and I’ve always loved Stereolab as well.” Adding, “I’ve been working with my guitarist Jacob and using a lot of teenage engineering, drum machines, mixtures of guitars. It’s been really fun. I don’t know how to explain it, but it sounds very 2006. I feel like this new album is what I am meant to sound like.” As of yet, it is unknown whether or not ‘Fall In Love With A Girl’ will appear on the album, or even when the album will come out. We’re surprisingly light on details at the moment.

But we have heard, in an interview with Consequence of Sound, that it should be dropping “Sometime in 2022”. Amazing. She also elaborated “I think the next record every single song is in a whole completely different world, I’ve never made such different songs in one piece of music before.” Summarising, “It’s the first time where every single song you just can’t compare it to anything else from the record. There’re some songs where it’s just me and some songs where it’s very heavy. We reference a lot of music we were listening to at the time, Jacob and I.” Until the album’s release, however, this Cavetown collab will have to be enough.

This also marks the first release for Cavetown since his latest EP was released last June. Man’s Best Friend gained pretty good reception from critics and fans and launched a substantial North American tour, and a few extra festival slots thrown in for good measure. While there are 2 dates in Austria and The Netherlands, so far there are no plans for an EU/UK leg of the tour. See full tour information here.
