Experimental pop’s newest trickster figure Gelli Haha is gearing up to release her debut album, and as lead single “Bounce House” suggested, her accompanying video work is just as colorful as the synth music contained within Switcheroo. Last week she dropped another single called “Funny Music,” which straddled the line between the comedy implied by its title (not to mention the moniker of its creator) and earnest electronic dance music. It becomes more of a trip the deeper into the track you venture, with its relatively tame post-chillwave instrumental getting swallowed up by increasing layers of cartoonishly modulated vocals.
Today, the video for “Funny Music” drops, and as one might imagine, it is not normal. Directed by David Gutel, the clip sees Gelli sprinting around a laboratory through various visual effects that mirror the song’s soundbed of alien vocals. It’s like a late-’90s PC game meets Run Lola Run meets pop art meets Tim & Eric meets Whac-a-Mole. On acid. Check it out below, and pre-order Switcheroo here.
