Mo Troper is an American power pop musician from Portland, Oregon.

Career

Troper played in the bands Your Rival and Sancho in the early 2010s and released his debut album Beloved in 2016 through the record label Good Cheer.[1][2] In 2017, Troper followed up that release with his second full-length album titled Exposure & Response.[3] The album was named "Album of the day" by Bandcamp upon release.[4] In February 2020, Troper released his third full-length album, Natural Beauty.[5] Troper embarked on a tour in promotion of the album, but it was cancelled halfway through due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] In 2021, Troper released an album where he covered the entire Beatles album Revolver.[1] Troper's fourth full-length album, Dilettante, was released in 2021.[7] Troper's fifth full-length album, MTV, was released in 2022 on Lame-O Records.[8][9] In 2023, Troper released a cover album of unreleased Jon Brion songs, titled Troper Sings Brion.[10]

In 2024, Troper's ex-partner Maya Stoner publicly alleged that he had been physically and psychologically abusive.[11][12] Troper was subsequently dropped by his management and publicity team, and Lame-O announced that they would no longer be releasing his upcoming album Svengali.[13] Troper denied the allegations and released the album independently.[14][15]
