A Tattered Line of String — The Postal Service

While the [Postal Service][1] has been struggling of late, good news came earlier this year from [The Postal Service][2]: the musical duo would be [reuniting][5] for a special 10th Anniversary tour. Ben doesn’t post much about music here — I assume he’s shy about his Kenny G collection — but I was too excited not to share the [just-released, brand new song][3] from the [upcoming 10th Anniversary Re-Release of the band’s debut album, *Give Up*][4].

It’s been 10 years since the little project that could from Seattelite Ben Gibbard (aka Death Cab For Cutie’s frontman) and Angeleno Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel, Figurine) emerged from seemingly nowhere and began to burrow into the ears of anyone who came into contact with the band’s infectious electro-pop.

See, Ben? Seattle. Relevant.
