History

Formation and debut album (2015-2016)

The Hellp was formed in 2015 by Noah Dillon, Eddie Liaboh and Devin Finucane in Durango, Colorado. [3] Dillon and Liaboh were introduced through Finucane after Dillon tweeted about his desire to start a band. The group released their debut single "Wingspan" with an accompanying music video directed by Dillon and Jack Bridger on January 21, 2016, in anticipation of their debut album Twin Sinner, which was released on February 25, 2016. Twin Sinner was scrapped after release, and Liaboh cut ties with the band. [4] After the release of Twin Sinner, Dillon recruited Chandler Lucy to play drums for the band after the two met at a photoshoot with Luka Sabbat. Lucy was born and raised in Glen Ellen, California. [5] The Hellp continued as a duo of Dillon and Lucy. [4]

Curtis and Lucy (2017-2019)

Throughout the summer of 2017, the band released the tracks "Elevation 001", "Beacon 002", "Heaven Sync", and "Dirty 003". [6] In October 2018, the band released the extended play Curtis. [7] The music video for "Feel" was later shown as a three screen installation at an exhibition for Dillon and Sabbat's art collective Hot Mess. In December of the same year, they released another EP, titled Lucy. [8] [3]

Vol 1. and Enemy (2021-2022)

On May 27, 2022, they released Enemy Remixed, an EP containing remixes of Enemy tracks from Xiu Xiu, CFCF, Damon Rush, and Club Eat. [14] On August 10, 2022, they released the single "meant2be". [15] In December 2022, the duo's fashion style was noted in an editorial in The Guardian as preceding the indie sleaze revival. [16]

Atlantic Records, LL and Riviera (2023-present)

In 2023, The Hellp signed to Atlantic Records under the imprint Anemoia. [17] On May 16, 2023, they released their debut single on Atlantic, "California Dream Girl". A short film directed by Dillon was released for the track on July 23, 2023. [18]

The song "Ether" was co-produced with electronic artist 2hollis and the song "Distribution" contains vocals from Sabrina Fuentes of the band Pretty Sick. [24] Pitchfork gave the album a score of 7.0, praising the sentimentality of its "gritty, digitized mutation of 2000s electroclash and indie rock" while considering the duo's "self-mythologizing" before the album's release to have been exaggerated. [24] Ann Powers and Hazel Cillis of NPR included LL in their weekly roundup of the "most compelling" new music. [25]

On April 20, 2025, they performed a DJ set at DoLab Coachella. [26] On April 30, 2025, they released an EP entitled LL Revisited consisting of four tracks not featured on LL. [27]
