Hella was originally the Sacramento-based duo of guitarist Spencer Seim and drummer Zach Hill.
The spastic instrumental post-rock of Hold Your Horse Is (2002)
harked back to Slint and
Don Caballero,
but also to Polvo's jovial alt-pop.
The Devil Isn't Red (2004) refined the art of mutation within a song,
in a game of perennial unfocused and shifting identities. The music was
deliberately chaotic, unfocused and oblique, but always anchored to
Hill's apocalyptic drumming if not to Seim's hysterical guitar.
Their third album,
Church Gone Wild / Chirpin Hard (Suicide Squeeze, 2005), consisted of
two CDs, one for each songwriter.
Hill's Church Gone Wild gives a
modern facade to two old-fashioned idioms of the rock avantgarde,
industrial music and noise-rock.
Seim's Chirpin Hard add a videogame quality.
There's No 666 In Outer Space (Ipecac, 2007)
presented a real band, fronted by vocalist Aaron Ross and careening through
sloppy revisitations of folk, pop and jazz stereotypes.
