Formation and Twin Sinner (2015–2016) The Hellp was formed in 2015 by Noah Dillon, Eddie Liaboh and Devin Finucane in
Durango, Colorado. 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 pulled from streaming platforms shortly after release, and Liaboh cut ties with the band. 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. The Hellp continued as a duo of Dillon and Lucy. In October 2018, the band released the
extended play Curtis. 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. On July 27, 2021, the band released the single "Height" from their forthcoming EP
Enemy with an accompanying music video. On August 18, 2021, they performed on
NTS Radio. In September they released two more singles, "yrstruly" and "Undertow".
Enemy was released on October 1, 2021. On August 10, 2022, they released the single "meant2be". In December 2022, the duo's fashion style was noted in an editorial in
The Guardian as preceding the
indie sleaze revival, though, they reject the label. Their music has also been associated with
bloghouse.
Atlantic Records, LL, LL Revisited, and Riviera (2023–present) In 2023, The Hellp signed to Atlantic Records under the imprint Anemoia. 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. On June 28, 2024, the band released the single "Colorado" alongside a visualizer. On August 23, 2024, they released the song and music video "Caustic". "Go Somewhere" was released officially on September 20, 2024. Three more songs, "Stunn", "LL", and a new version of "Sinamen" were released in October 2024 in anticipation of their second album
LL.
LL was released on October 25, 2024. The song "Ether" was co-produced with electronic artist
2hollis and the song "Distribution" contains vocals from Sabrina Fuentes of the band
Pretty Sick.
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. On April 20, 2025, they performed a DJ set at DoLab
Coachella. On April 30, 2025, they released an EP entitled
LL Revisited consisting of four tracks not featured on
LL. On September 9, 2025, the band announced their third studio album
Riviera, which was originally set to be released in October 2025. On September 11, they released the single "Country Road". On October 3 they released a second single titled "Doppler", followed by a third titled "Here I Am" on October 17. The album eventually released the following month on November 21. ==Discography==
