"You think doing the laundry sucks? Try BEING the laundry" is what American electronic group THE POSTAL SERVICE are channeling in their new video for their new song featuring Jenny Lewis 'A Tattered Line Of String'. It brings new meaning to the term 'laundry day'. Frontman Ben Gibbard (Also in DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE ) continues to show off his lyrical skills with yet another song filled with passion and despair. This topsy turvy video for the Give Up anniversary edition is one of two bonus [...]

When I was in high school, I was a big Death Cab for Cutie fan. I felt a natural affinity to Ben Gibbard, having spent a few formative years growing up in the same small Washington now he was from, before joining him in the more grown-up version of Seattle. When Give Up came out, I remember blasting the CD in my car, driving home from school, unabashedly singing "Ba-ba!" at the top of my lungs. Though I have seen Death Cab for Cutie live many times, I jumped at the chance to see The Postal [...]

Portada de 'The Electronic Anthology Project of Death Cab for Cutie'. Este 2013 ha sido un año bastante ocupado para Ben Gibbard . Para este reconocido músico y cantante, no ha sido suficiente reunir a The Postal Service (después de 10 años), colocar en tiendas una edición especial del Give Up , lanzar un box set de viniles de Death Cab for Cutie y tocar en su totalidad el aclamado Transatlanticism . Ahora, el líder de Death Cab confirmó vía Twitter que la [...]

Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard has confirmed via Twitter that his band is working on new material. This was revealed after a fan tweeted his frustration about Ben Gibbard's recent two track collaboration with Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson on early Death Cab material. Gibbard tweeted this: THIS IS HAPPENING! Do not fear. RT @ brianfulda : I wish @ dcfc would just return to what they do best - writing songs together. — Benjamin Gibbard (@Gibbstack) [...]

Making it seem like the return of The Postal Service might not just be a one-time thing, Ben Gibbard will be pairing up with the Electric Anthology Project to remake some of his material into synth-pop jams. The project, headed by Built To Spill member Brett Nelson, previously enlisted the likes of J Mascis for the 7” series. With Gibbard, EAP will debut the digital single remakes of 'Soul Meets Body' and the 1998 song 'Champagne From a Paper Cup' July 2nd. Following the release, color-pressed 7” copies will [...]

A full decade has passed since the release of "Give Up." The Postal Service was always a side project that was never meant to achieve the level of success/popularity that the duo (trio?) has reached. The sold-out Red Rocks crowd gobbled up everything that the Sub-Pop kids were dishing up in a blustery perfect evening that had many thinking that the show might have been canceled due to a show cancellation this week in Salt Lake. Skinny Ben Gibbard did his best one-two dance steps with Jimmy Tamborello serving as the electronic maestro for last [...]
In the most recent Now Playing feature, I compared Lonely Child to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service, and Zooey Deschanel fame. With "Dead Life," the Austin, TX resident's most recent offering, the honor still stands. Except, where Ben would maybe stop and play a more conventional, indie-rock role, Bryan Ray pushes his music a step further. "Dead Life" is artfully tainted with electronic delicacies and organically constructed between rapid-fire percussion and a subtly powerful voice. This track [...]

It's an odd predicament in which Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello now find themselves firmly rooted: ten years on from the release of the pseudo-seminal, platinum-selling Give Up – a record the title of which appeared to forecast the creative inertia to come, for it remains their only full-length endeavour to date even though it's rung on in the ears of sophomore slumpers worldwide since – they're able to sell out the salubrious O2 Academy Brixton twice over, airing no more than two new songs in the process. Identikit setlists guide them through each evening, and there's an [...]
