Hen in the Foxhouse is the musical project of Elena Sophia Krell, a queer & non-binary Honduran-American artist born in Germany and raised in England, Latin America & Chicago.

Frequent collaborators include Manuel Quintana, Ru Lemer, and Chris Gartmann (3,Cellmate, Peacebomb).

Reminiscent of Natalia LaFourcade, The Magnetic Fields, and Philip Glass, the debut album, Look Up (2024), is "an aquatic ecosystem of disparate plant and animal life that belong together," (Broken 8 Records).

Elena lives in Rosendale, New York.
