Their current music project "Hen in the Foxhouse," also available on Spotify, Elena Elías Krell released 4 full-length albums and one EP. Folk Radio UK writes of their 2017 release, "Drawing on a mass of musical influences, As Eli is unquestionably one of the summer's brightest gems." The songs are fine-tipped in their melodic and emotional detail, but the songwriter thinks in broad transnational sounds. Elena was born in Germany and has lived in England, Greece, Honduras, Mexico, and the United States, landing for now in New York’s mid-Hudson Valley (Kingston, Woodstock, Hudson). Along this transnational route, Elena's music often features Spanish language songs, for example, her own “Horizonte” and “Canción de las Simples Cosas,” a song made famous by one of Elena's heroes, the Costa Rican singer Chavela Vargas, on the album As Eli. XO offers a quirky, catchy, "my favorite things" in Spanish in "Canción de Gusto," and a poignant punk "thank you" to her first grade teacher from when she lived in England, "Thank you Mr. Simons." A witchy country pop song, "You're Gonna Love Me," will leave you singing along long after and is emblematic of the singer's penchant to keep her listener's guessing. Little wonder Radio I.S.A. France calls her music, "​A musical melting pot... Unforgettable songs and melodies." As of 2019, Elena writes and performs under the name, "Hen in the Foxhouse."
