THE DUO TO CELEBRATE NEW TRACK WITH HUGELY ANTICIPATED DJ SET
THIS WEEKEND AT COACHELLA SUNDAY, APRIL 20 ON THE DO LAB STAGE
“HAZEL” AVAILABLE NOW VIA ANEMOIA RECORDS/ATLANTIC RECORDS
Hailed by The Face as “the last cool band on earth,” The Hellp – a.k.a. Noah Dillon and Chandler Ransom Lucy – will celebrate the arrival of “Hazel” this weekend with a hugely anticipated DJ set at Indio, CA’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, set for the immersive, influential Do LaB Stage on Sunday, April 20. In addition, this summer will see the duo among the top-billed stars appearing at Riga, Latvia’s eclectic Positivus Festival (August 8-9), live shows and festivals in North America, Eastern Europe, and Portugal, mixed in with a variety of DJ/Club sets in select cities.

“Hazel” marks The Hellp’s much anticipated follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed full-length label debut, LL, available now via Anemoia Records/Atlantic Records HERE. The album – which includes such electrifying singles as “Halo,” “LL/Stunn,” “Rllynice,” “Go Somewhere,” “Colorado,” and “Caustic,” all joined by visually striking official music videos streaming now at YouTube – was met by widespread applause from such high-profile publications as Pitchfork, which praised it as “a love letter to their growth as artists…a wanton mixture of electroclash, ’00s dance pop, and digital hyperactivity,” adding, “The passion seeps through, with melodies and songwriting that’s hookier and more inventive than most of the hyper-rock swarm.”
The Hellp commemorated LL with their biggest US headline tour thus far, highlighted by sold-out shows at such vaunted venues as San Francisco, CA’s Brick & Mortar Music Hall, New York City’s Irving Plaza, Nashville, TN’s The Basement, and Los Angeles, CA’s Fonda Theatre. What’s more, Dillon and Lucy – long recognized as distinctively original, endlessly creative style icons – marked the album’s release with a prestigious cover feature in Arena HOMME +.
PRAISE FOR THE HELLP
“LL is frenetic and kinetic…The songs erupt with electric tumult, like the power grid has been hijacked by a crew of ravers enforcing Martial Party Law…Barely 10 seconds go by without some new idea or beat detonation; it’s a manic montage of acoustic guitars, mutilated vox, and thwomping bass…But there are also moments of serene beauty and heartfelt lyrics, like you’re riding alone down the highway in a flyover state passing rolling fields glinting with sunlight.” – PITCHFORK
“Hitting both nostalgic and futuristic elements with their sound, the duo has built a loyal fanbase of dance-driven delinquents who eat up their introspective and referential output.” – PAPER
“Each individual track exhibits a microcosm of The Hellp’s career, evolving with taste and technology and never doing one thing twice, with energy often pushing physical bounds.”
– STATIC
“The Hellp are the gold standard…Their music is just leaps and bounds above everyone else’s and are ushering in the next evolution of punk…Swarms of digitized chirps bleed onto drums working to slice your skull open, but at the same time it’s blissful and euphoric making you want to hug the person next to you as it all unfolds.” – NO BELLS
“A testament to (The Hellp’s) passionate storytelling within the electroclash genre, exuding a fuzzy warmth and embracing their tongue-in-cheek indie sleaze aesthetic.” – ONES TO WATCH
“The Hellp mix eclectic rock, electronic, and country influences to craft ballads that sound like Mick Jagger and Aphex Twin’s musical lovechild from the future.” – FWRD
