Saddle Creek Records continues to be the flagship label of a style of music that is beginning to be called the Omaha Sound , characterized by a slight country twang. This is increasingly inaccurate, though, with the rise of more electronic sounds such as those favored by The Faint and Broken Spindles . The eclectic sounds of Saddle Creek's disparate member bands is somewhat explained by their history; a number of the original members of the label attended grade school together (Oberst himself was 13 years old at the time of the first Lumberjack release, Conor Oberst's "Water"). A "brother label," of sorts, to Saddle Creek is Team Love , started by Conor Oberst in 2004. In 2005, '' Spend An Evening With Saddle Creek '', a documentary detailing the first ten years of the record label's history, was released. The DVD features extensive interviews with the Saddle Creek bands, archival footage, and rare live performances. BANDS
