PEACH KELLI POP – ” Lucky Star “

While drumming for Ottawa, Canada pop punk trio White Wires in the early 2010s, Allie Hanlon began a side project for her songs. Taking the name of the band from a Redd Kross track, Peach Kelli Pop’s tunes were short, sticky pop songs about made-up dances, summertime, and having fun in the cutest way possible. Hanlon played all the instruments herself, recording them in time-honored lo-fi fashion. She made a series of records for Burger, moved to Los Angeles when White Wires ended, and with a live band bringing her songs to life, became a fixture on stages around the world. With each album, Hanlon expanded the band’s sound a little, even bringing in other musicians to help out, and by the time of her 2018 record Gentle Leader, Peach Kelli Pop had moved to Mint Records (once the home of the band’s spiritual forebears Cub) and established themselves as a first-rate punk pop band.

Limited to 500 Copies (250 on Yellow and 250 on Red). Allie Hanlon’s Peach Kelli Pop returns after 2 years with a 6 song EP. In December 2017, Hanlon spent a week in her hometown of Ottawa, Canada. She recorded the EP in just four days, utilizing the dust-coated equipment left in her bedroom after she emigrated to the United States in 2013. “I really benefited from being in the specific home, and even room where I learned to play music when I was growing. Upon first listen, a new level of vulnerability is instantly detectable, effectively separating this release from any of the bands previous creations. This new intimacy is due to the predominantly autobiographical lyrics: songs about isolation, depression and feeling like an outsider in Hanlon’s current home of Los Angeles. Which Witch is akin to the Red Cross’ Posh Boy EP – both have 6 songs, each close to a minute long.

All 4 members of Peach Kelli Pop are outspoken Redd Kross fans; which comes as no surprise: the band is named after a Redd Kross song. On earlier material, Hanlon’s voice was passive, frequently inaudible and blanketed in reverb. Those days are gone; She now sings with confidence and clarity, demonstrating a refreshing assertiveness not seen before in her work. Which Witch holds the first glimpse of an evolution, a new stage in which Hanlon is finally no longer holding back.

I don’t know for sure if this Los Angeles DIY four-piece purposefully chose to release Gentle Leader on the weekend that is traditionally considered the gateway to summer. But either way, it is a match made in heaven, as Peach Kelli Pop’s vibrant tracks are perfect for warm weather and bright days. It’s the first record that the band has released as a collaborative effort, which only benefits the music’s urgency.

Peach Kelli Pop

Peach Kelli Pop Sounds like: If chiptune foremother Manami Matsumae composed California surf-punk for a Nintendo soundtrack inspired by Shonen Knife playing a sock hop. Ottawa transplant Allie Hanlon uses catchy bubblegum to cover her earnest lyricism with enough sugar to make it stick with adoring teens from Tokyo to Echo Park.
