Mo Troper
Like any Mo Troper album, Svengali is a collection of razor-sharp pop songs that sound like they were written yesterday, or in 1990 by Paddy McAloon, or in 1966 by Brian Wilson, or in 1936 by some unheralded Tin Pan Alley great.
“…A converging, titanic exhibition of rock ‘n’ roll … somewhere between the worlds of Chopin and pre-school lullabies.” -Paste Magazine
“…Like Pinkerton-era Weezer as interpreted by the Chipmunks.” -Pitchfork
“…One of the best power-pop artists in the underground.” -Stereogum
“…A shrewd balance between noisy discord and hook-driven power-pop.” -Uproxx
