The Postal Service is a two-piece electronic pop band consists of Ben Gibbard, singer for earnest indie rockers Death Cab For Cutie, and techno artist Jimmy Tamborello, commonly known as Dntel. Ben provided vocals for Jimmy's amazing 2002 single, "(This Is) The Dream Of Evan and Chan," and the pair worked together by exchanging tapes through the mail to release a collaborative album “Give Up” under the name The Postal Service on record label Sub Pop in 2003.
Now, the duo rejoined to celebrate 10th anniversary of their first album, “Give Up”, with a “Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition” featuring a 15 tracks including two brand new songs, "Turn Around" and "A Tattered Line of String", with Jenny Lewis. The album will be available for purchase in the USA on April 09, 2013.
