Space Cadet, Beabadoobee's fourth EP, landed on Dirty Hit on 14 October 2019: five songs she wrote entirely on her own. Pete Robertson of the Vaccines and Joseph Rodgers executive produced the lot, and her labelmate Matty Healy of the 1975 turns up to add guitar to the title track. It's a scrappy, sun-bleached mix of indie rock and indie pop, fuzzed-out guitars and lazy slacker grooves wrapped around a voice that sounds like it's letting you in on a secret.
"She Plays Bass" and "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus" were the singles, the second doing its name-dropping right there in the title. Space Cadet came just before her debut album, Fake It Flowers, and the buzz was already loud: critics in the BBC's Sound of 2020 poll tipped her for a breakthrough, the Brit Awards put her up for the Rising Star award, and the NME Awards handed her their Radar Award.
