According to Pitchfork:

Back in 2003, when music was still in its infancy, Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello came together as the Postal Service to release a little record called Give Up, making it okay for indie kids to get down. And the world was never the same.

In years to come, Give Up will serve as an education in the entirety of music’s history all by itself. That is, unless its follow-up improves upon it, in which case we can include it in the curriculum as well.

Gibbard has spoken of that ever-elusive follow-up in a recent interview on MTV.com, in which he said, “We’re slowly starting. We’re crawling right now, and whether that crawl turns into a walk remains to be seen. But we’ll know more towards the end of the year. I’ve just been touring so much and trying to find time to make it happen and make our schedules line up.”

In other news you might have peeped the new video for “Apologies” from Jimmy’s latest project James Figurine on Stereogum. Here’s another new video from Mistake, Mistake,, Mistake, Mistake, due in stores July 11th. If you squint your ears, it almost sounds like The Postal Service.
