About The Postal Service
The Postal Service paired Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard with Jimmy Tamborello, who records electronic music as Dntel, with Jenny Lewis adding backing vocals. Their only album, 'Give Up', came out on Sub Pop in 2003 and became one of the label's best-selling releases, helped along by the single 'Such Great Heights'.
The name drew a cease-and-desist letter from the United States Postal Service, which was settled amicably. The group reunited in 2013 for the album's tenth anniversary and again in 2023, touring alongside Death Cab for Cutie and playing 'Give Up' in full.
