The Postal Service

in 2012, Pitchfork did an interview with Ben Gibbard.
He told tales of his latest album with his band Death Cab For Cutie and had a brief discussion about his solo record. Sure, people were interested. But what should have been the main topic of conversation is his love for slow pulsing electronica music.

Back in '03 Gibbard teamed up with acclaimed electronic producer DNTEL.
They later formed one of the most influential bands of the decade.
The Postal Service.

What people don't realize about the album is that no matter how brightly polished, it was an album about loneliness.
It would seem that Gibbard was going through a rough patch in his life. A patch that apparently could only be filled by the crisp clasp of an E-drum and a twinkling synth.

Now, in 2013, the age of bumping fists and slutty clothes, The Postal Service announce their return to give the world some much needed closure.
Fans can rest easily knowing that Gibbard doesnt plan on stepping out of the spotlight anytime soon,
but he has concluded that there will be no new album to follow their long list of tour dates.

And as much as I would love to see The Postal Service in a small and cramped venue in which their sound is best consumed, I know that it's nearly impossible to get that lucky.
