Ben Gibbard Reviews, Interviews & More

Fans of breathy and electro synth-pop, the reunion you’ve waited 10 long years for has come—assuming you haven’t finally outgrown breathy and electro synth-pop like everyone else—as The Postal Service has announced their long-awaited reunion.

Just in case you’re not satisfied with using such tepid, saccharine and wholly unoriginal rip-offs such as Owl City’s cringe-inducing “Fireflies” to fill in for the lack of new Postal Service music, all hope may not yet be lost.  According to Jimmy Tamborello, one half of the electonica pop duo Postal Service (the other half being...

Talk about getting thrown a musical guest curveball. Actress and singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel sang "God Bless America" during the 7th inning of Game 3 of the National League Championship Series played between the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday night at AT&T Park in San Francisco, California. Not to be outdone, Deschanel's husband, Death Cab...

Death Cab for Cutie, fans brace yourselves—according to Spin, head Cab/ Mr. Zooey Deschanel Ben Gibbard claims that you can expect a new DCC--their first since 2008's Narrow Stairs--disc coming your way next year:

Owl City has extremely blown up within the last few months and we say - good for him. Although, a lot of music fiends can't seem to help but notice that his style sounds VERY similar to The Postal Service's signature sound. Right down to the electronic beats, the dreamy lyrics, and most of all - the vocals. There is no doubt that Adam Young completely echoes...

Ben Gibbard says we probably won't be seeing another Postal Service album…at least any time soon. In an interview with Rolling Stone's Rock & Roll Daily Gibbard said "It's the record that never seems to want to come out. It's also just never been a priority...There never really was a plan to do a second album." The Postal Service is a side project (a very popular one we might add) of...
