The freshly hatched Gelli Haha is an old-school pop world-builder. The aesthetic world of her few singles so far recalls a kids’ soft-play centre, all bright primary colours and bouncy surfaces. Live, she fires bubble guns into the air, surrounded by caged inflatable sea creatures and red-clad backing dancers dressed as boxers. Her delightfully weird dance-pop draws from a toybox of vintage synths, and sounds as if it could be some rediscovered lost Euro new-wave pop curio, dabbling in Italo, sleazy chug and early electro.
