Give Up (Pressed on Blue with Metallic Silver) – The Postal Service

Limited edition on blue w/ metallic silver vinyl.. 20th anniversary LP repress from our friends The Postal Service (what a tour!)  You can spend all the time and money in the world trying to craft the perfect pop-music scenario, but sometimes the stars have to align all by themselves as there’s no way anyone could have predicted the eventual impact made by a mail-order album designed in a pair of West Coast bedrooms. Of course, the band’s music was more than just electro-pop, and the force with which Jimmy and Ben captured the indie-rock zeitgeist of the early aughts made them more of a phenomenon than just a regular old band.   While it was impossible to anticipate how massive Give Up would become, it was obvious in 2003 that these guys had made something special. Twenty years on it sounds as great as ever.
