REVIEW7.6 / 10 (HARRY TAFOYA)

Pitchfork hands Gelli Haha — the club-leaning reinvention of LA songwriter Angel Abaya — a 7.6 for Switcheroo, a kooky, conceptual, synth-filled dance record that trades polished disco for surreal humor and gross-out wit. Critic Harry Tafoya frames the album as a big top wide enough to hold stoned revelation, nursery-rhyme heartbreak ("Bounce House," "Tiramisu"), and the ecstatic non-sequitur peak "Pluto is not a planet it's a restaurant" — songs that circle fraught feelings without ever leaving the dancefloor. The verdict: Switcheroo "firmly establishes Abaya as a brilliant young talent to watch."
