“equally weighted between the weird and the naggingly catchy, as much inspired by analog funk and boogie from the ‘70s and ‘80s as it is by the likes of Kate Bush and Björk” THE NEEDLE DROP
“a bright, pop-trance record that will also likely resonate with the Chappell Roan crowd” FLOOD
“a punkish post-disco pop record full of surprises and heart” PASTE
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
Gelli Haha hits the road this month in support of her stellar debut album Switcheroo which was released to high acclaim this Summer via Innovative Leisure. Her wild, prop-filled, choreographed live show has quickly become one of LA underground’s most sought after shows and for the first time ever she’s performing across the country. Highlights include two headlining nights in NYC (both sold out), dates supporting Marc Rebillet, Polo & Pan and more.
"Touring is the next phase of the Gelliverse experiment, taking what we’ve built in LA and letting it mutate city by city. Each show is part recess dance party, part musical performance art, and we invite the crowd to become a part of the story. Expect trampoline breaks, a parachute monster, and one big sweaty, silly, dancey family,” says Gelli. See below for a full list of dates. Tickets are available HERE.
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.
