Define Postal Service Meaning

A band created by Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello sending lyrics and rhythms back and forth through mail. Has the most crazy amazing lyrics ever created. Not to be confused with the US Postal Service.

An indie pop with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello.

Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, and Jimmy Tamborello of dntel created the synthpop group The Postal Service.

A slightly inde band created by some members from DCFC (Death Cab for Cutie). Most notably known from thier work being featured in Garden State. Quite "film schooly" as a personal opinion, and certainly something different to listen to. Great to depart from the mainstream "music" that is fed to us through basic-cable "music channels".

Dumbass SHIT BAND seriosuly have you listened to this, seriously sit down and listen to it, if you actually hear the bullshit lyrics and the dopey music you will eventually be clawing out your ear lobes

A kick-ass band, similar to Death cab for cutiie, but with more of an upbeat. They have an album called "Give Up" If you wanna check 'em out, listen to "Such Great Heights", "Sleeping in", "We will become silhouettes", and "This Place is a Prison"

a band that sounds alot like death cab for cutie because the singer happens to be Ben Gibbard.

the band also consists of producer Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, and a few other bands (headset and figurine). the group formed after ben set vocals to a song on one of Dntel's albums.

the postal service succeeds in creating a unique sound mostly upbeat and poppy.

the greatest band ever
started by Ben Gibbard (( the lead singer for Death Cab For cutie) A man named Jimmy Tamborello heard the lashing of Los Angeles in a great song of the album "the photo album" and asksed Gibbard to lay down some vocals for his up and coming album. after this was released , the relationship was established
Gibbard started receiving CD-Rs from Tamborello filled with beatsy electronic music, which he manipulated in his computer before writing melodies and lyrics and recording vocals. He also added some guitar, drums and keyboards - much of which was recorded by Death Cab guitarist Chris Walla at his Hall of Justice studio - and then sent the demo back to L.A. Gibbard had to run his changes past Tamborello.

though it's tempting to call it an "'80s-sounding" record because of its keyboard-driven pop sensibilities, there's nothing retro about Give Up

On the other hand, fans of Death Cab will hear faint echoes of Gibbard's main band in The Postal Service, but overall it's a completely different experience.

The greatest band ever.

A very good band with great lyrics and a soothing sound that I love but will probably soon be ripped away from me by Mtv and teeny-boppers.
