THE POSTAL SERVICE Vinyl & CDs

Review: The Postal Service are one of those anomalies of indie-pop which left an impression far bigger than their actual output. Formed as a sort of side-project for Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis and Dntel, their sole album Give Up was a widely hailed masterpiece of modernist synth-pop. The slow release success of the 2002 album moved the band to embark on a tour 10 years later, which was then captured on this live album as a gift to the fans who never made the shows. As treasured by their fans as the studio recordings, Everything Will Change now receives a ceremonious double-vinyl repress on pink and blue vinyl cutely titled the 'Loser Edition'.

Review: The Postal Service is made up of Ben Gibbard, who is of course the singer and guitarist from Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Tamborello, who also records as Dntel. They work over long distances and in 2003 dropped their classic album Give Up, which was then reissued and remastered for a 10th-anniversary edition and now comes on special blue and silver vinyl as a 20th-anniversary looms. The album is sweet and charming and mostly electronic with real warmth and some additional vocals from Jen Wood and Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis.
