Saddle Creek is an indie rock style label based in Omaha, Nebraska. Established in 1993 by Mike Mogis and Justin Oberst, the label was originally called Lumberjack Records. However, Mogis soon passed on his role to Conor Oberst, who took over as the head of the company. With a focus on independent music and a passion for supporting emerging artists, Saddle Creek has become a prominent name in the music industry.
Over the years, Saddle Creek has been home to various talented musicians and bands, including Bright Eyes, Cursive, and The Faint. Known for their unique sound and authentic approach to music-making, these artists have helped shape the label's identity.
With its headquarters in Omaha, Saddle Creek continues to be at the forefront of indie rock music. Their dedication to fostering creativity and providing a platform for up-and-coming talent makes them a respected authority in the industry.

Rough Trade Tip for 2020. Disq have assembled a razor-sharp, teetering-on-the-edge-of-chaos melange of sounds, experiences, memories, and influences. Collector ought to be taken literally—it is a place to explore and catalogue the Madison, Wisconsin band’s relationships to themselves, their pasts, and the world beyond the American Midwest as they careen from their teens into their 20s. This turbulence is backdropped by gnarled power pop, anxious post-punk, warm psych-folk, and hectic, formless, tongue-in-cheek indie rock.

Collector, like the band itself, is defined and tightly-contoured by the ties between the five members. Raina Bock (bass/vocals) and Isaac deBroux-Slone (guitar/vocals) have known each other from infancy, growing up and into music together. Through gigging around Madison, they met and befriended Shannon Connor (guitar/keys/vocals), Logan Severson (guitar/vocals), and Brendan Manley (drums)—three equally dedicated and adventurous musicians committed to coaxing genre boundaries.

Produced by Rob Schnapf, Collector is a set of songs largely pulled from each of the five members’ demo piles over the years. They’re organic representations of each moment in time, gathered together to tell a mixtape-story of growing up in 21st century America. The songs are marked by urgency, introspection, tongue-in-cheek nihilism, and a shrewd understanding of pop and rock structures and their corollaries—as well as a keen desire to dialogue with and upset them.

For fans of Tame Impala, The Beatles, Weezer, Pet Sounds era Beach boys.
