What inspires my head-over-heels love for the band, The Postal Service?

Asked by Trustinglife (6671points) March 17th, 2009

I know I’m 6 years late, but I just discovered this amazing band, The Postal Service. Can’t stop listening to the album.

Do you love them too? I can’t put my finger on what makes this album so great. Can you?

Their lyrics are so amazingly unique. Also in Nothing Better I love the harmony between the guy and the girl singing.

But, like you, I can’t quite put my finger on it. I’ll have to listen some more and think about it :) Brings me back a few years

Unique is, I think, a primary ingredient in awesomeness.

The Female singer is Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley

Is that our own shilolo appearing in the video for Such Great Heights?

You know, I’ve had their CD since high school I think, and I still listen to it and love it. It’s just so darn catchy and fun.

Kind of piggy-backing on JohnPowell’s comment—you should totally check out Rilo Kiley’s first CD the Execution of All Things. It’s a bit different but also awesome.

It is clear to me that it is the result of Fluthering too much, which results in overexposure to AstroChuck and, thus, a new addiction is born.

Because they’re awesome. :)
Ben Gibbard’s voice is like a snuggly blanket. does that make sense to anyone except me?

I am a huge fan of The Postal Service. I love the fact that, even though what they’re signing about might not be deep or ground breaking, they still manage to create a sound that simply overwhelms me.

@Likeradar it makes a whole lot of sense to me. (:
