Fans of The Postal Service!!!

[Cdn_Brdr]

I know there are a few of you on the board who are just as geeky about music as I am. I literally get giddy when I pick up on a new band that I really, really dig on.

I'M GIDDY!!!!

Check out a newer band called Electric President. If you like the electro-pop mellowness of Postal Service you'll love these guys. They're self-titled new album is along the same vein. I won't go so far as to say it's a carbon copy but it's as close as you'll get without it actually being P.S.

Download 3 tracks here!

I don't think that this group is as good or as polished as P.S. but I think if you're a fan of P.S. you'll like this just the same.

i love the postal service, right on (y)
yet they are not that new,
the song that everyone should listen by them is,
"nothing better"

[Cdn_Brdr]

^Dude.... I know P.S. isn't new.

RE-READ THE POST!

[lola_phyne]

[Tea]

Already stoaked about it.

[pinkpanther]

[charly]

ohh i will so be checking this out when i get home later.

thanks :)

ps - totally okay to be giddy.

This stuff is great. Not really all that Postal Sevice like however. The Electric Presidents sound is far more accoustic, which I actually like quite a bit. I also find Postal Service a bit cheesey, mostly the male lead singer's vocals (love the girl's voice tho), but also the fluffy, 140+BPM 4/4 rave beats. None of the above in this stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like Postal Service, but this is better IMO.

[juice]

i picked it up at hmv today.....good stuff :)

[ebbomega]

Out of hard drive space so I can't check it out, but dare I say....

I'm kinda sick of Postal Service. One good song and a bunch of variations on the theme.

And Death Cab still sucks.

But thanks for the Recommend, Shawn, I'll try and check it out when I get a chance...

Postal service worn out? Affrimative. Death sucks? i don't think so.

And if you're getting sick of something is most likely because the people like it so much they keep it on repeat.
Popularity craze = burn out
Even so, talent should still be honoured with ups.
I mean there is a lot of shit i don't listen to but i still respect it or consider it well produced.

[gratia]

i shall have to check these guys out. i thought i was the only person who knew about the wonders of the postal service.

[desiRAWR]

Not at all connected. BUUUT check out Panic! at the Disco if you haven't already. I've had the cd for about a month or so now and I can't get it out of my cd player. It's SO good.

[zarlon]

In other news, I will lookie after workie.

About a year and a half ago you couldn't swing a unshaven tight-shirted fauxhawker around Vancouver without them quoting the first few lines of Such Great Heights.

You couldn't go to a single house party in town without hearing it either.

Incidentally, Postal Service managed to avoid overplay for me... I think I left the island just before they grappled onto them and got hella play down there, and I moved back to Van right after everybody out here got sick of it... I never got really annoyed by the song, it's just that while SGH used to be #1 on my itunes play count, I really haven't put forth an effort to listen to it in damn near six months...

It's a hella catchy song, and like all hella catchy songs, it has a shelf life. I personally think that shelf life expired some point last year. For now I'll just enjoy Madonna's new album for another few months until Electro-clash/-house starts to really suck.

And Death Cab still sucks. =P
