The first comment sitting beneath Gelli Haha's KEXP session on YouTube is "Idk wtf this is but it’s cool as fuck", which pretty much sums up the entire 23 minute performance.
Recorded 3rd April, posted 4th June, this has arrived at exactly at the right time. I didn't know I needed to see and hear this until I did, and I'm glad I stopped by KEXP to see what was new.
Gelli Haha is otherwise known as Angel Abaya, born Boise, Idaho, based Los Angeles, California. Angel started releasing music under her own name in 2020, a debut album (THe Bubble) following in 2023. Then came her reinvention as Gelli Haha and last year's appropriately titled second album Switcheroo.
This is the first I've heard of her, so I can't compare and contrast before and after, but Gelli Haha is definitely a smart move. It's fun, fun, fun.
Five songs plus a short interview and trampolines, tents, torches, hide and seek, swimming caps and goggles, an inflatable dolphin... and five women (six if you count KEXP host Evie Stokes) having a really good time in the studio.
1) Funny Music
2) Spit
3) Normalize
4) Bounce House
5) Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep
And here are a couple more tunes from Switcheroo to give you more bounce to the ounce:
