Cool Band Alert… “a veritable buffet of dancefloor-ready sounds, from bubbly disco rave-ups and gritty underground club bangers, to stretched out slow jams that ache with sincerity.” Bandcamp
“A delightfully deranged party girl whose bleepy vintage synths, sleazy chug and tireless disco keeps things weird in the right way” The Guardian
“Gelli Haha is ready for her close-up. The LA artist’s debut LP is for fans of weird and whimsical pop concoctions, offering 10 tracks that would feel at home in either a contemporary art exhibit or a discotheque.” The Boston Globe
“well worth your attention” KCRW
“… an album of such effervescence it is practically a geyser” The Quietus
“....a song you feel in the physical sense as much as hear, and impeccably constructed to last all summer, maybe even two of them.” Treble
“The set breathed a red mayhem...Visually, the project makes the eyes dart” Boise Weekly
“kaleidoscope of pop hooks” Austin Town Hall
“Joyous, colorful, relaxed and intricate” Autumn Roses
Gelli Haha’s stellar debut album Switcheroo is here today via Innovative Leisure. A shapeshifter, a sonic acrobat, a performer with one foot in the cosmos and the other in arthouse theatrics, Gelli Haha (pronounced Jelly-Haha) is a space for pure creative chaos that exists somewhere between Studio 54 and Area 51. Gelli’s music thrives on duality: playful but profound, tongue-in-cheek but sincere. Switcheroo is the soundtrack to the Gelliverse, a sensory adventure sphere created by Gelli.
With a shared taste for off-kilter pop and vintage gear, producer Sean Guerin (of De Lux) joined Gelli in turning freshly-formed demos into a high-voltage experiment, abandoning meticulous structure for something freer and more electrifying. Every song on Switcheroo makes use of a myriad of recording toys; wacky analog effects, such as the Eventide Harmonizer, MXR Pitch Transposer, and various Electrix units, fashion an intentionally flawed and strictly silly texture throughout the album. Switcheroo is an exercise in letting go, an inside joke turned theatrical spectacle.
Gelli Haha’s wild, prop-filled, choreographed live show has quickly become one of LA underground’s most sought after performances. She’s announced her debut headlining performance at the Resident in Downtown Los Angeles with dance arts center. Tickets are on sale here – Presented by Minty Boi and Gelli Kompany.
