Mo Troper is an American indie rock musician from Portland, Oregon.
History edit
Troper released his debut album, Beloved, in 2016 through the record label Good Cheer.[1] In 2017, Troper followed up that release with his second full-length album titled Exposure & Response.[2] The album was named "Album of the day" by Bandcamp upon release.[3] In February 2020, Troper released his third full-length album, Natural Beauty.[4] Troper embarked on a tour in promotion of the album, but it was cancelled halfway through due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] In 2021, Troper released an album where he covered the entire Beatles album Revolver.[6] 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][10]
In 2024, Troper's ex-fiancée 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.[14]
