Saddle Creek

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.

Land Of Talk is a Canadian indie rock band that originated in Montreal, Quebec in 2006. Known for their unique sound and captivating performances, the band has gained a loyal following within the music industry. Influenced by artists such as Broken Social Scene, Chad VanGaalen, and Wye Oak, Land Of Talk's music combines elements of indie rock with heartfelt lyrics.With their distinct blend of melodic hooks and introspective songwriting, Land Of Talk has carved out a niche for themselves in the indie music scene. Their dynamic live shows have garnered praise from fans and critics alike, showcasing their raw talent and energy on stage.Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of musical influences, Land Of Talk continues to push boundaries with each new release. Their discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Some Are Lakes" and "Life After Youth," which have solidified their status as one of Canada's most exciting indie rock bands.

Lizzie Powell has always been a risk-taker. As the creative force behind the influential Canadian outfit Land of Talk, the Montreal-based songwriter has over the past 15 years amassed a catalog of four unimpeachable albums that stretch the boundaries of indie rock. But&nbsp;Performances, their fifth LP, feels like a total reinvention: an unflinching statement from an artist who’s not afraid to say how they feel. Though it trades muscular guitar rock for understated piano, it’s still the most urgent, cathartic, and personal release of Powell’s career so far. “It's the weirdest, mightiest little record I've made since I used to write music on my four-track when I was 14,” says Powell. “I needed to make a love letter to my teenage self by being more vulnerable and doing all the production myself.” Here, they&nbsp;doggedly value their own intuition over anything else to make their most rewarding album yet.&nbsp;

Performances&nbsp;is a defiant and resonant blow against expectations and outside pressure. It’s an LP showcasing an artist without constraints and allowing themself to be radically honest. “The album title is very literal,” says Powell. “I'm performing what's in my brain but I'm tired of performing femininity for the music industry, femininity in my life, respectability, and vulnerability. I'm trying to grow out of these and break out of these roles in my life.” Powell’s fearlessness as a songwriter has already led to Land of Talk boasting an unmistakably essential discography but with this album, they find the perfect opportunity to give themself the grace to truly double down on their own vital sensibilities. They usher the songs every step of the way from demoing to producing, imbuing each track with immense care and unfiltered feeling.&nbsp;

“This is me reclaiming Land of Talk as it always has been,” says Powell. “Every record we've made has just been one step closer to me figuring out how I want to make a record myself. I might not ever make an album like this again, but I just felt like I owed it to myself to try.”
