The Postal Service-Nothing BetterHey, here's a band that I bet you've NEVER heard of.
The Postal Service, that one really good electro-indie-pop band stuffed with really good members from/in other assorted indie pop bands such as Death Cab for Cutie, DNTEL and Rilo Kiley. This band that released this one record,
Give Up in 2003 and became really really popular.
This band that created this beautiful arrangement of keyboard and overlaying vocals, this song that perfects the post break-up mindsets of these heart broken lovers, this song that twinkles and sparkles in its glory, this song with that tiny, insistent beat and that crazy violin popping up now and then to balance bitter-sweet come back lyrics ("Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future"), that begging of forgiveness and, oh, oh, that
chick that no one ever likes and her determined "say good bye". Indeed.
