LABRYS is a music project forged by Penny Pitchlynn, a Choctaw musician and alternative singer-songwriter rooted in Oklahoma City. Combining a graveled low end, ruminative vocals, and vulnerable lyrics, LABRYS wields a heavy yet agile sound, evaporating experiential stones into smoky apparitions of self-reflection. As a full band, LABRYS highlights the sludge-tinged grooves that underscore its arrangements. As a solo performance, the project bares a backbone of candid emotional strength. LABRYS has been featured on numerous television shows, including the Peabody award-winning TV show Reservation Dogs, and was a featured subject of the documentary Love and Fury. The recognition also carries to music journalism, as Pitchlynn was distinguished as "one of the most effective and laser-focused songsmiths on the scene" (Fieldcamp, OKC Free Press) in 2023. This reputation comes not from overnight sensationalism but from years of development. LABRYS carries with it untold days and nights away from the spotlight spent crafting musical entities, calcifying into a growing body of studio work. Pushing forward across an unpredictable landscape, LABRYS is an emotional nomad, a perpetually evolving ecosystem of expression, drawing language from meditative listening and birthing sound from silence.
