Gelli Haha – Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep
GELLI HAHA shares her new maximalist art-pop single “Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep” today via Innovative Leisure. It’s the first taste of music since the release of her 2025 breakout album Switcheroo which earned high acclaim from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR, The Needle Drop, The FADER, Bandcamp, Paste, The Guardian, FLOOD and countless others.
Where Switcheroo studied curiosities, “Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep” inhabits them – joyful, experimental, embodied, in orbit. Floating between the club, the cosmos, and the cumulus, Gelli moves without waiting for return or resolution. Instead, she drifts inside continuous change, tasting each moment before it evaporates. It’s a sweet, surreal pit stop in the sky and the first glimpse of what comes next.
“Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep” comes with another out of this world, whimsical new video by director / visual artist David Gutel that will drop you right into Gelliverse.
Shapeshifter / sonic acrobat GELLI HAHA kicks off her first headlining North American tour: Where in the World is Gelli Haha tonight with a sold out show at The Roxy in LA.
Both Chicago performances, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia are also sold out. Other highlights include NYC’s Bowery Ballroom, her return to Boise’s Treefort Music Fest this weekend plus performances at Kilby Block Party, Capitol Hill Block Party and Primavera festivals. Gelli’s wild and FUN prop-filled, choreographed live show is sure to be this year’s must see performance. “I’m so excited to go on my first headline tour with my incredible team of dancers and musicians. We’ve built a show that’s playful, silly, and alive! I can’t wait for more people to join the experiment,” she enthuses.
Gelli Haha (pronounced Jelly-Haha) is a performer with one foot in the cosmos and the other in arthouse theatrics. It’s 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.
