“I’ve just opened my eyes,” says Chandler Lucy, one half of The Hellp — hungover and, as a consequence, camera off. Usually based in LA, he and his bandmate, Noah Dillon, touched down in New York last night and headed straight out with their “lawyer/finance bro” friends. Lucy reports that he “drank a bunch of Guinnesses ‘till I couldn’t see.” Dillon didn’t drink, but did “stare at [his] phone for three hours” — maybe, Dillon suggests, it would have been better to have a couple of beers. 

The begrudging IYKYK darlings of indie sleaze are in town to premiere the music video for “Live Forever,” the fourth single from their new album Riviera (out now), at a listening party later. This new era for The Hellp feels decidedly restrained compared to last year’s record LL, a boisterous clash of glitchy electro that slotted neatly into the so-called “recession pop” trend. Now, they’re stripping things back: polished, grown-up songs that refine the clattering experimentalism that originally won them fans over the past few years. -High Snob

There are two Pantone colors on the covers of Bon Iver’s SABLE, EP and SABLE, fABLE: Black C and 1625 C. The latter now has an official name: fABLE Salmon. 

Justin Vernon worked on the art direction for SABLE, and SABLE, fABLE with the Minnesota-based painter Ruben Nusz and Secretly Group’s head of art and design, Miles Johnson.

Pantone has partnered with musicians a number of times in the past. There has been Love Symbol #2, in honor of Prince; Pink Noise by Laura Mvula; and Grateful Red and Stealie Blue, for the Grateful Dead. And, while not given an official name by Pantone, you can find the green hue from Charli XCX’s Brat in the catalog as Pantone 3507 C. -Pitchfork
