nuisance:
Sorry to be a fuckwit, but I think any comparison to The Postal Service is about as superficial as saying eg. Motorhead are a dark Rolling Stones because they are both rock bands.  OK, should've picked examples from a similar era, but you get what I'm talking about.

How do you think 'The Eraser' compares to The Notwist?  To the last Dntel record, even?  To Lali Puna?  To Hood?


Anyone heard that newish Radiohead covers album?  Maybe it's a Japan-only release.  The R&B version of 'High & Dry' works really well, which makes lots of sense, really, bar the lyrics.

McTaggart:
Okay, it's like what a darker Postal Service would sound like if Ben Gibbard was Thom Yorke.

nuisance:
But it's like what a darker Postal Service would sound like if Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello were Thom Yorke.  :)  I think the drum programming, piano, guitar, and dry, grubby production aesthetic are all very typical of (what I always imagined was) Thom's contribution to Radiohead post-'OK Computer'.

Edit: sorry, I'll stop.  I normally restrain my argumentative side.

Valrus:
However superficial the Postal Service comparison might be, I think it's a good one to give a very vague idea of what the album sounds like.

I've got the cover of "Just" featureing the guy from Phantom Planet. It's basically incredible.
