Now that Facebook is a publicly traded company and wealth and prosperity have officially returned to every corner of the U.S.A., the government can get back to more important things, like putting together a killer mix tape for tomorrow’s Thirsty Thursday flippy cup party in the Library of Congress basement. Or, to put it a completely different way, the Library of Congress announced the addition of 25 new “cultural, artistic and/or historical treasures” to its National Recording Registry of, y’know, “cultural, artistic and/or historical treasures.” See, under the terms of something called the “National ...

“If M83, Collective">Animal Collective, and The Postal Service had a drunken orgy together, the resulting soundchild would be Leitbur ”  Explications : Leitbur (prononciation light-brr) est le projet solo de Jaron Widman, un jeune producteur de Californie.

Man, remember when everyone was so blown away by The Postal Service? Maybe not for their music, though SOME OF US were jamming Give Up pretty hard in their high school years, but at least for their CRAAAAZY idea of sending each other tracks over the mail. So crazy-ish! Nowadays, this is the least crazy thing that’s ever happened, considering a little thing called email and the internet and et cetera et cetera. I bet Ben Gibbard feels real dumb now, using the mail like a five-hundred-year-old man. But the point is, people send each other tracks to collaborate ...

*Dntel *- aka *Jimmy Tamborello*, and one half of *The* *Postal Service* as well as the band *Figurine* - recently announced the arrival of his long awaited new album *Aimlessness*, set for release *June 5th *on* Pampa Records*. His first album of new material in some time, guests on the new album...

Somehow I missed a new track from one of my favorite electronic artists,  Dntel , back in March.   Jimmy Tamborello , the man behind the Dntel  name and also one half of the Postal Service ,   dropped the new track "Bright Night" off of his upcoming album--and his first new release since 2007-- Aimlessness , due out June 5 via  Pampa .   Tamborello  dropped another new track earlier this week too, called "Still", a collaboration with California-based beatmaker  Baths  who garnered a lot of buzz in 2010 for his debut album Cerulean .   Dntel  has always been a collab-happy project and Baths isn't the only ...

Following last month's great "Bright Light," Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel and the Postal Service has released "Still." Off ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/media/dntel/still-f-baths/64724/

Der Indietronica-Produzent und The Postal Service -Mitbegründer Dntel wird am 5. Juni sein neues Album "Aimlessness" auf DJ Koze 's Label Pampa veröffentlichen. Bereits jetzt gibt es den zweiten Track des Albums zu hören. "Still" ist eine relaxte Downtempo-Nummer und klingt, als hätte man Balam Acab und Destroyer gemeinsam ins Studio gesperrt. Mit von der Partie ist auch Pop-Produzent Baths — vor allem durch sein 2010er-Album "Cerulean" und sein nebulöse Electropop-Side-Projekt Geotic bekannt. Neben den beiden auch auf dem Album vertreten: LoFi-Sängerin Nite Jewel . Via Klick aufs neue Artwork könnt ihr in den Track reinhören. Dntel - "Still" Scheint also, als hätte ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Figurine, Geotic Song: Dntel - Still (Ft. Baths) [download here ] What's so good? Okay, I think we can all agree upon listening to this track that Dntel is much more user-friendly when he’s acting as half of The Postal Service. The second single we’ve heard off his upcoming album Aimlessness , Jimmy Tamberello finds himself joined by Baths for an expansive, pulsating track. It’s probably a good hint at what’s to come, as the album will include contributions from Geotic and Nite Jewel, as well. Consider me mostly on the ...

Birdy Birdy Warner Bros. Records [2012] Fire Note Says: 15 year old Birdy will surprise you with her soaring delivery and good taste in cover songs. Album Review: I could have easily let this record go by the way side but after hearing just a little bit of Birdy's cover of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" I was hooked. Birdy is actually 15 year old British singer Jasmine Van Den Bogaerde who was discovered at age 12 when she won the Open Mic UK in 2008. You would never guess her age by listening though because she has the ...

This week's serving of "Albums That Changed My Life" goodness comes from Cacie Dalager of Now, Now! The band are currently on tour in support of their stunning sophomore album, "Threads" , which is out now through Trans Records. If you haven't heard this record yet, make it your number one priority of the day! Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American I found out about this band on accident when I was in eighth grade. I went to Warped Tour to see some really horrible bands and ended up seeing Jimmy Eat World. It was my first taste of actual ...

Think of the Postal Service and then update Ben Gibbard 's vocals with a dose of Morrisey 's literacy and the moroseness of Jens Lekman . This brings you close to Farragoes , a synth-pop collaboration between Tom Avis and Jeff Craley, the parallels to the aforementioned mail-reliant project running deeper as one half of the band resides in Toronto and the other in DC and most of their music comes together in stems and pieces over file-sharing websites. But, you can't very credibly call your band, Mediafire without trafficking in a soul-sucking brand of irony; it isn't 2003 anymore ...

So a while back, Dave did a post about their favourite song covers… Here’s my take on that: Bat for Lashes - All I Need, Originally by Radiohead Matt Pond P.A. - Champagne Supernova, Originally by Oasis The Postal Service - Such Great Heights, Originally by … Continue reading →

This weekend I stumbled upon a great cover of the staple Such Great Heights.  Their take on the classic song from The Postal Service is skewed heavily toward the ska genre and the opening thirty seconds are brilliantly rendered by their horn section.  Honestly my only gripe is that the horns take such a back [...]
