Saddle Creek

Albums of the Year - 2019

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.

Stef Chura is an acclaimed singer-songwriter known for her raw and emotive indie rock sound. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Chura's music captures the essence of vulnerability and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from artists like Anna Burch, Cherry Glazerr, and Snail Mail, she creates captivating melodies with introspective lyrics that resonate with listeners.

Chura's unique voice and guitar-driven compositions have garnered attention in the music industry. Her debut album "Messes" received critical acclaim for its honest storytelling and infectious hooks. With each song, she invites *listeners* into her world - a world filled with personal experiences, growth, and introspection.

Having toured extensively across North America and Europe, Chura has gained a dedicated fanbase who connect deeply with her heartfelt performances. Her live shows are characterized by an energy that captivates audiences as they immerse themselves in the raw emotion of her music.

Midnight is Stef Chura's gritty, vehement new album - recorded and produced by Will Toledo of Car Seat Headrest - and her first new collection of songs for the Saddle Creek label. Illuminating that search for answers with a fevered sense of exploration, Midnight is a bold leap forward from Messes, Stef’s contagious debut album, with every aspect of her new work finding bold ways to express itself as it rips through twelve restless and relentless new tracks.

A couple of years on from the release of Messes, Stef is still based in Detroit, that most singular city which has seen it all, from the no-mans-land of its initial collapse through to the resurgent place it is now. Stef found inspiration from the people she surrounded with herself with, more so than the place itself. It’s no surprise that Midnight is testament to those kind of characteristics; a rugged and robust burst of defiance.

Equal parts thrilling and angsty, Midnight is a testament to the collaborative process, a record that makes the very most of those who came together to make it, but more than that, it’s a firm statement of tenacity and perseverance, of not resting on your laurels but leaping forwards no matter the situation you find yourself in. From out of one day and into the next. Produced by Will Toledo of Car Seat Headrest. For fans of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, PJ Harvey and The Breeders.
