Her Space Holiday
I have the album "The Young Machines", and it's very good indeed. Although as kind of a twist, the lyrics are mostly about him with his (I think?) best friend's lass - see the song "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend". It's interesting, anyway.
thats
excellent, cheers(from south carolina sounds wonderful), anyone else got anything?
Maybe Psapp?
They have a girl singing, like Imogen Heap kind of style. A bit. The music isn't synthy, but it's made up of loads of interesting little noises. Toys, water, and all kinds of junk they just found around. It sounds like a craft project. The album is called "The Only Thing I Ever Wanted".
"tiger my friend"
is a hell of a lot better than "The Only Thing I Ever Wanted" in my humble opinion.
Hey,
I didn't even know it existed. I'll have to track that one down.
I guess they're not so similar, but I always listen to them when I'm in the same mood as when I listen to the Postal Service.
Good sentence structuring.
plus minus
are a bit like an emo postal service...
http://plusmin.us/
otherwise psapp is reeally nice though not a great deal like postal service
electric president!
like the postal service, but better.
http://www.myspace.com/morrelectric
'Insomnia' is pretty much the best thing ever.
try
casiotone for the painfully alone and
'digital ash in a digital urn' by bright eyes
maybe not as chirpy as postal service, but synths and nice lyrics.
Mates Of State
this band
are fucking incredible!!!
^^^
This definately.
Electric President have a new album soon too...
Funkstoerung
http://www.myspace.com/funkstorung
they've broken up but they have some nice glitchy pop with vocals and some ass-slappin remixes as well. ASS well!
bleeps, synths, nice lyrics...
kinda describes my music: www.myspace.com/ilikewhereilive :P
also: dntel, people press play, the notwist, casiotone for the painfully alone, the helio sequence, stars...
dntel (obviously)
her space holiday
casiotone
four tet?
the album leaf
ACTUALLY, this radio station is rilly good: http://somafm.com/digitalis/played
listen to that. and give them some money.
The Notwist, perhaps?
Not heard it myself but didn't alot of people say I Was A Cub Scout were quite Postal Service-esque?
Why has no-one said Oppenheimer yet?
^
i really fail here.
their new album is proper good as well.
Say Hi
Styrofoam
^ Say Hi
Definitely
That new Cut Copy album's pretty similar
in terms of pretty singing and disco beats but still sounding very, very indie.
If you describe it like that, yeah
But listening to it I would say it's not similar at all to The Postal Service.
I Was A Cub Scout...
...the British Postal Service...
Album is very good.
Try
Plastic Operator's album Different Places.

THE AGE OF ROCKETS - HANNAH
This is already my album of the year, it's incredible, the glitchy pop production of jimmy tamborello and the great lyrics and heartfelt singing of Ben Gibbard, all from one guy! In fact, those two are going to have to pull something extra special to beat this record, full track here:
http://www.last.fm/music/The+Age+of+Rockets/_/avada+kedavra
They've all been said
But I second The Notwist, DNTEL, Plastic Operator and Mates of State. Obviously Hot Chip 'n all...
Try DNTEL's song 'Breakfast In Bed', which has Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst singing - It's the most Postal Service song in the world. Not surprising, really... Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Q85Obp_5s
what about
Pinback?
both breakfast in bed
and take it easy makes me wish conor would do a full LP with tamborello.
surely...
dntel's 'this is the dream of evan and chan' is even MORE postal servicey considering it actually has ben gibbard doing the vocals on it? ;-) [/pedantics]
I meant
a Postal Service song without the Postal Service line-up, but yeah, anyone who likes them should hear all of DNTEL's stuff, I reckon. You can listen to the track here: http://www.last.fm/music/Dntel/_/(This+Is)+The+Dream+of+Evan+and+Chan
people press play
Album Leaf
I agree with the above mentioned:
The Notwist
&
Electric President

+1 for Oppenheimer
James Yuill
reminded me a lot of The Postal Service when i saw him.

FedEx
and UPS are a good one.
I can't believe
it took that long for someone to say that. Mind you, I would have done. For shame.

You're absolutely nailed on...
...to like/love The Go Find:
http://www.myspace.com/thegofindmorrmusic
'Stars on the Wall' was one of the 'lost' albums of last year
Dead Media by Hefner!
OWL CITY are...
Essential. The biggest Postal Service/DCFC rip i've ever heard but still so good.
Glasgow band who are a bit Postal Servicey in places
http://www.myspace.com/sixpeopleaway
NOTWIST NOTWIST!!!!
x
Play Radio Play is also very Postal service-y
http://www.myspace.com/playradioplay
ELECTRIC PRESIDENT
are amazing....one of their songs was used on the OC but no one recognised it so they are still small and wonderful. They're Ben Gibbards favourite band (well, they were 18months ago in an interveiw i read)
Styrofoam
The Notwist
'Neon Golden' = lost gem.
