Gelli Haha exists somewhere between Studio 54 and Area 51, where dancefloors
become playgrounds and cheeky aesthetics ignite imagination. A shapeshifter,
a sonic acrobat, a performer with one foot in the cosmos and the other in
a slapstick routine, Gelli Haha is a space for pure creative chaos.
For her opening trick, Gelli Haha presents Switcheroo, the debut album via
Innovative Leisure, to be released in June 2025. 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.
Gelli Haha’s music thrives on duality: playful but profound, tongue-in-
cheek but sincere. “Bounce House” is the child-like innocence; “Spit” is
the S-words-only underground-club grit. “Piss Artist” revels in tequila-
fueled storytelling about an infamous party moment (involving a jar — don’t
ask, just dance), while “Normalize” feels like you’re stuck in Play-Doh.
It’s a practice in play - recording vocals mid-jump, translating drum fills
into mouth sounds, granting your best friend’s wish for a song about them.
A bear attack crashes through the happy-go-lucky “Dynamite”, “Funny Music”
ends with a sudden “BONK!”— because why not?
The emotional rainbow stretches beyond the positive — Gelli pouts and wails
on "Tiramisu", demanding to know and feel everything, while "Pluto is not
a planet it’s a restaurant" closes the album in a darker, heart-throbbing
track with the repeated cry: "I’m afraid."
Switcheroo is the soundtrack to the Gelliverse, a sensory adventure sphere
created by Gelli. This live revue is an invitation into a world of dolphin
balloons, flutes, mini trampolines, and a stage bathed in the project’s
primary color, red - bold and full of mischief.
Gelli Haha isn’t foolproof. It’s by design. Switcheroo is an exercise in
letting go, an inside joke turned theatrical spectacle. Participation is
encouraged. Surrender is required.
