Omaha-based independent record label offers up six tracks for music fans to enjoy.
As we all know, most record labels these days are working overtime to keep their music off of P2P and file-sharing networks. Saddle Creek, on the other hand, is one of the few who has decided to instead embrace the technology. The Omaha-based label is offering up free tracks as part of a Saddle Creek Sampler 2007 that highlights some of last years biggest hits.
“The idea is to let people sample a record before making any purchasing decisions,” Saddle Creek’s Jeff Tafolla tells Spinner. “If they like it, hopefully they will support the artist by buying the record.”
The label is offering up tracks from label kingpin Bright Eyes, plus other roster mainstays like Two Gallants, Georgie James, the Good Life and Art in Manila.
“We just make it legal and guilt free,” Tafolla continues. “By hosting those songs on our website, we reach mostly people who are already fans of Saddle Creek. Making the sampler available through BitTorrent is a good way to reach a a greater number of music fans unfamiliar with our artists. We’re very proud of our 2007 releases, and want as many people as possible to hear them.”
The sampler is up on BitTorrent Inc. which you can download here.
