The Postal Service
Biography
Named for the way they traded sounds and ideas, the Postal Service is an electronica-meets-indie rock supergroup featuring Jimmy Tamborello (of Dntel and Figurine), and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard; Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, and former Tattle Tale and solo artist Jen Wood provide backing vocals. Tamborello and Gibbard first worked together on the title track of Dntel's This Is the Dream of Evan and Chan EP; from there, the duo continued to collaborate via mail, with Tamborello sending electronic pieces and Gibbard adding guitars, vocals, and lyrics. The result, Give Up, were released in early 2003 by Sub Pop. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Why would you say it is for woman and girly men? I enjoy the postal service very much and don't see that it has any girl-only qualities to it...

I guess that makes me a girly man, or a woman.

I love the Postal Service. They're definately one of my favorite bands ever.

The Postal Service is the definition of beautiful music. It seems to always but me into a mellow mood*

The Postal Service is amazing. The very first time I heard them, I was in a record store buying CD's and "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" came on. I asked what the name of the artist was and bought Give Up instantly.
