Forgot About This Mo Troper Tune

Leave a comment

I think I can finally clean out all my old emails from 2020 by sharing this Mo Troper tune, which honestly, I would have shared on its release at the end of December had we not been shut down for sanity’s sake. Mo’s got this great power pop feel of late; I love how he stretches his vocals to the tip top of his range, letting it ride on top of the mix as the guitars churn just beneath him. The song just feels like that shimmering sun warming you through your living room window as you gaze into the future; I feel like I could really use that right now. Check his last LP, Natural Beauty too, if you haven’t done so already!

Another Mo Troper Hit

Leave a comment

With Mo Troper‘s Natural Beauty just on the horizon, he’s sharing another track to entice your ears. This one definitely feels like it’s got an old school emo sound to it, and mind you, I’m not knocking that at all. It reeks of emotion and intimacy, while still sounding powerful behind the burst of the guitar chords. I love the moment that begins with the line “when we were young” just at the 34 second mark; its just the perfect pop nugger to devour. Something about Mo just makes me happy; if you’re in the same boat, check out his new record Natural Beauty on Tender Loving Empire on February 14th.

Mo Troper Shares In Love with Everyone

Forgive me for expecting Mo Troper to continue crafting these hook-laden gritty rock numbers for his new album, Natural Beauty. It would seem that Mo’s completely flipped the script here, brandishing more of a penchant for pop than anything. The orchestration behind Troper’s songwriting has definitely added some great textural layers to this tune, but I’m still all about that chorus; I love the way his voice soars when he sings “when I was younger/it was fun.” This feels like one of those unexpected albums that you just fall in love with, trying to convince all your friends its the greatest things out there! Natural Beauty is out via Tender Loving Empire on February 14th.

Mo Troper Announce Natural Beauty

Leave a comment

I’ve been completely onboard with the first two Mo Troper LPs, so it only seems fitting to jump on board with his new one Natural Beauty, just announced on Friday. It’s clear through his growth that Mo’s intent upon banging out hook-laden pop songs, not too far off from where the early works of the New Pornographers dwelled. Even then, some of Troper’s devein-may-care attitude from his early days seeps through, which ends up sort of leaving you with this fuzzy guitar pop stomp that you’ll have spinning in your head for hours. Natural Beauty will be released by Tender Loving Empire on February 14th.
