“For Kellen of Troy, the concept of pop honors the way the world works in real-time. As this multi-talented singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist knows, creating finely crafted songs that are personal and political keeps alive a tradition that stretches from The Beatles, Randy Newman, and Paul Simon to Kurt Cobain to Father John Misty. Kellen of Troy is the moniker of Kellen Wenrich, whose foray into the world of high-grade pop for modern sophisticates is Vanity Project (out 3/13)- a title that captures the Nashville artist’s ability to be simultaneously profound and self-deprecating. Despite the title, it’s no vanity record; Kellen gets into the real stuff that the topsy-turvy, post-Trump era dishes up on a regular basis.”
