Brent Penny

Brent Penny is a Chicago-based experimental singer-songwriter who blends shoegaze, ambient, folk, and experimental elements into his distinctive take on pop. His deadpan lyrical style merges visceral emotion with surreal storytelling, creating a sound that’s both intimate and stylistically adventurous. Recent releases like *Chosen One* (2024), *One Hand* (2024), and *Growing Deeper, Getting Mutable* (2024) showcase his evolving exploration of genre-bending textures, while earlier works like *Choose the Right* (2019) and *Airplane* (2019) highlight his knack for pairing minimalist arrangements with offbeat lyrical phrasing.
