The flaxen-haired musician has announced his next album, Pirouette, which is due out on the auspicious date of November 11 (or 11/11) via Interscope. You can check out the characteristically gothic cover art, drawn by Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, below.“There is a delicate, sensitive quality to 2hollis that aligned perfectly with the image I had in mind for the artwork,” Amano said in press materials. “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 follows 2hollis’ 2025 major-label debut, Star, and features the recently released singles “Sex” and “Hurt.” 2hollis shared his first project, Boy, in 2024, but has roots in the music industry that run much further back: his mom is a cofounder of Skrillex’s OWSLA label, and his dad is Tortoise drummer John Herndon.Got any qualms with this endeavor?
