About

Since 2016 Crafted Sounds has been a Pittsburgh-based record label run by Connor Murray in his spare time. Fostered by the DIY community of South Oakland in the late 2010s, the label put out their first releases, booked their first shows, and established core relationships that carried the label forward. Over the years physical formats slowly transitioned from tape-only to the occasional vinyl record or CD. Not to mention, label operations grew to account for things like digital and physical distribution, in-house PR, web design, larger bookings, and a greater regional emphasis. From Fall 2022 to Summer 2024 the label operated from Washington D.C., contributing to the historic scene there, before returning to PA.

We invite you to check out our artists' releases, come to a show, buy a record, say hey, whatever. We are just happy you are here :)
