To me, Saddle Creek used to be this incredible powerhouse of a label. So many great bands! So much great music! But then things changed- Bright Eyes disbanded and Conor Oberst left for a country-tinged stint with Merge, The Faint started their own imprint, and Cursive just got weird. Saddle Creek is back on my radar now though, and it's all thanks to The Mynabirds. The band's debut album will be released April 27.
