Space Cadet is the fourth extended play (EP) by Filipino-born British singer-songwriter Beabadoobee. The EP was released on 14 October 2019 by independent record label Dirty Hit, and was supported by the singles "She Plays Bass" and "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus". All five tracks were executively produced by English musicians Pete Robertson (of The Vaccines) and Joseph Rodgers. The EP was also written entirely by Beabadoobee and features additional guitar from Matthew Healy (of The 1975) on the title track.
Background and release[]
Beabadoobee released "She Plays Bass" as the lead single on 21 August, before releasing the second single "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus" on 19 September. Beabadoobee confessed to Nylon in early October that she hadn't formally announced the record but noted that "people know about it. I kind of say it here and there on a live show and then I guess like for [interviews], but I never properly said the name Space Cadet. "Originally scheduled for release on 18 October 2019, Space Cadet arrived earlier on 14 October. It succeeds the EPs Lice (2018), Patched Up (2018) and Loveworm (2019). On the concept of the record, Erica Russel of Teen Vogue wrote, "aptly-titled Space Cadetfinds the artist leaning heavily into the frustration of being misunderstood and the awkward uncertainty of inching closer towards adulthood. Over an emotive soundbed of fuzzy indie-rock, melancholic grunge, and breezy pop-rock, Bea reassures listeners that it’s okay not to fit in."
