[QUOTE=]It's official: [URL="http://pitchfork.com/artists/3377-the-postal-service/"]The Postal Service[/URL] are officially, actually getting back together. A [URL="http://www.postalservicemusic.net/"]website[/URL] for the duo-- comprising [URL="http://pitchfork.com/artists/1039-death-cab-for-cutie/"]Death Cab for Cutie[/URL]'s [URL="http://pitchfork.com/artists/6101-ben-gibbard/"]Ben Gibbard[/URL] and [URL="http://pitchfork.com/artists/1121-dntel/"]Dntel[/URL]'s Jimmy Tamborello-- appeared earlier today, simply stating: "The Postal Service: 2013". And now [I]Billboard[/I] has [URL="http://www.billboard.com/news/the-postal-service-reunites-1008104962.story#/news/the-postal-service-reunites-1008104962.story"]confirmed[/URL] that Sub Pop will release a deluxe edition of the band's sole album, [I]Give Up[/I], next month, in order to commemorate the record's 10-year anniversary.
Billboard also states that three separate sources confirmed to them that the band is booked to play this year's Coachella, as previously rumored, and that "additional dates and festivals are also in the works." However, as Gibbard has [URL="http://www.spinner.com/2012/10/24/ben-gibbard-postal-service/"]repeated[/URL] dozens of times, there are still no plans for another Postal Service LP.
Dntel and Gibbard both released solo records last year; [URL="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/16695-aimlessness/"][I]Aimlessness[/I][/URL] and [URL="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17176-former-lives/"][I]Former Lives[/I][/URL] respectively. Watch the video for the Postal Service's much-covered "Such Great Heights" below.

That's it? Just a re release?
Hopefully they'll do another album after this?
I have literally never heard of them.

Dntel's other project that hasn't released anything in like a decade was pretty good.

We don't need another postal service in this country, we already have [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFVq6DsakmE]the UPS.[/url]
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
yes
Never heard of them. The current biggest news in my musical world is the re-union of System of a Down for a rumored new album.
Such awesome news for me.
Locking down on my Coachella Artist wristbands soon too, should be cool if I can meet up with Ben.

Weird, I've never seen this and I'm a big fan.
Dear god I love Postal Service. Only released one (short) album but almost every song was great. One of the few music experiments that ended up being brilliant and perhaps even culture defining for the onset of the new millenium. Okay at least for me :v:
My favorite song by them:

[I]I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the feel...
That you're perfect verse is just a lie, you tell yourself to help you get by?[/I]
Their music pretty much defined a small part of my adoloesence. It's nostalgic to listen to :v:
Some of my favorites:
