2hollis Announces New Album Pirouette Featuring Cover Art by Legendary Illustrator Yoshitaka Amano

Fans of the flaxen-haired, genre-blending musician 2hollis have reason to celebrate, as the rising artist has officially announced his next studio album. Titled Pirouette, the forthcoming project is scheduled for release on the auspicious and highly anticipated date of November 11, or 11/11, through Interscope Records. Alongside the album announcement, 2hollis has revealed the project’s striking, characteristically gothic cover art, which was drawn by the legendary Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D illustrator Yoshitaka Amano.

The collaboration between the modern internet-era musician and the legendary fantasy artist bridges distinct generations of aesthetic storytelling. Discussing the creative partnership in press materials, Yoshitaka Amano shared deep admiration for the young artist, noting how his personal visual style seamlessly intersected with the musician’s persona.

"There is a delicate, sensitive quality to 2hollis that aligned perfectly with the image I had in mind for the artwork," Amano said. "He felt very close to the kind of character I have always drawn—as though he had stepped directly out of one of my paintings."

Pirouette arrives as the next major chapter in 2hollis’s rapidly evolving career, following his 2025 major-label debut, Star. The new album will showcase the artist’s forward-looking sonic vision and includes his recently released singles "Sex" and "Hurt," both of which have helped build immense momentum and anticipation for the full-length project.

While 2hollis first captured widespread underground attention with the release of his breakout project Boy in 2024, his deep-rooted connections to the broader music industry stretch back much further than his own official discography might suggest. Born into a remarkably creative household, his mother is a cofounder of Skrillex’s influential OWSLA label, while his father is John Herndon, the renowned drummer of the pioneering instrumental post-rock band Tortoise. This unique upbringing provided 2hollis with an innate understanding of diverse musical landscapes, allowing him to navigate electronic, rock, and alternative hip-hop sensibilities with ease and authenticity.

For listeners looking to dive deeper into the cultural discourse surrounding the artist’s rapid ascent, the timing couldn’t be better to revisit critic Alphonse Pierre’s insightful 2025 column for Pitchfork, titled In Defense of 2hollis, which explores the polarizing appeal, artistic sincerity, and boundary-pushing nature of the musician’s work in contemporary pop culture.

With the backing of Interscope, high-profile artistic collaborations with visionaries like Yoshitaka Amano, and a rapidly expanding fanbase eager for his every move, Pirouette stands poised to be one of the most visually and sonically distinct album releases of the late year when it drops on November 11.
