The Hellp Deliver a Microdose of Sleazy Fun in 'LL Revisited'


Los Angeles based band The Hellp, comprised of Noah Dillon and Chandler Ransom Lucy, have been trailblazing the indie sleaze revival for a decade. Curating the cultural moment they’re having at present has been no easy feat, and yet, the two of them make it look effortless. Some might say their unmistakable Hedi boy image (leather jackets, skinny scarves, and sunglasses) that characterizes them like a pair of Scott Pilgrim villains has added to their appeal throughout mass media. Some might say the opposite. While these style staples may seem contrived, along with the indie sleaze renaissance they’ve catapulted through the mainstream, The Hellp is nothing if not original.

Their latest effort LL Revisited, an extended four-track EP to their debut album LL, is a feeding frenzy for your senses that spikes adrenaline like spinning out on ice. Frantic beats, lush vocals, and post-apocalyptic influences of techno saturate this project to the brim. There’s something nostalgic and gripping about LL Revisited song that brings to mind vignettes of a night out in your hometown with your first crush.

Opening track “Hot Fun” is a headbanger I’ll have to force myself not to burn out on. It’d be easy to listen to over and over, as the hook maintains its euphoria, and I discover some new electronic layer with each play. The lyrics are intensely visceral. “Another dead deer on the road.” “Salt, lick it off of the snow.” It’s like reliving a favorite memory in your head that sticks with you like a stubborn beat.

LL Revisited also features the previously released "Hazel," which we previously described as frenetic, awe-inducing, and euphoric, as well as two additional new tracks in "IG Live" and "Techno." The former arriving as a scattering barrage of vocal chops and the latter akin to stumbling and slurring your way through the dancefloor, swaying between bliss and losing yourself amidst the chaos of it all.

Watching The Hellp find nuance in the movement they’ve spearheaded is beyond fascinating. LL Revisited draws inspiration from the sleaze collective while redefining the canon with choices that could only be theirs. It’s a complex dance punk movement that invites you to plug in and learn more about it with each listen.
