If u listen to DCFC's Transatlanticism you'll notice the subtle electronic-beats and programmed shuffles in the background, which makes thier indie pop/sad bastard melody more discernable and eclectic. It's like the more anthemic, sing-songy, teenage drama version of The Postal Service, only guitar-driven and less textured.

BTW if you like The Postal Service, you'll also like Air's Moon Safari.

Minus the major label exposure and The OC - Death Cab for cutie's good, musicwise and lyricwise.

dntel got so much better with their  recent album, theyve grown alot , sonically. its good that these individuals can actually step out of the postal service persona when theyre doing their own thing.

I love The Postal Service. Their first (and only?) album is great. I'm not really into indie-pop and electronica but I love pop songs with subtle electronic flourishes.  :-)

Someone mentioned AIR. Another great group. Couldn't live without them.   :wink:

Galing ng Air. "Ce matin-là" may very well be the best piece of music I've ever heard. Napakinggan ko na yung OST and I loved it (also the film.) I can hear ELO, Pink Floyd, and Ennio Morricone sa music nila. It's right up my alley.


I have yet to hear the new album.  :-)

Halos lahat ng cuts gusto ko.  Parang darker version ng "Moon Safari." Ang galing! Parang "Dark Side Of The Moon" of the 90s. Dig?  :-)

hmmm, critically acclaimed yung bago nila pero para sakin di ganun kaganda kumpara sa dati.,

Hopefully this weekend I'll get a copy and check it out.  :wink:

Dark Side Of The Moon ng Pink Floyd tama ba?., naman! ang galing nun, pero alam ko 70s yun di ba?.,

about their big break up.

Ben Gibbard has his own style in song writing,
he uses lines which makes you realize unusual things and makes you agree to him.
hehehehe. great man.

Wala pang second album kasi busy ngayon ang Death Cab.  Kalalabas lang ng bago nilang plaka tsaka nagto-tour sila.  Malamang na ang tour nila hanggang pagtapos ng taon.

you should also check out tamborello's other projects, eg Figurine/James Figurine. its like my space holiday with black mascara stains. great computer musician.

dntel is amazing, tho i personally like his "harder" tracks to his newer, poppier stuff off of dumb luck

Post by: lennon_reincarnate on September 12, 2008, 08:49:01 AM
i looooooove the postal service!

ben gibbard is a lyrical genuis!

dntel provide some simple but cool beats.

havent heard their new single.meron na ba? sheeeet sana nga may bagong album.nacurious tuloy ako sa Air.

may original cd ba ng Give Up na nabibili dito? papost naman kung saang record store.puro ako pirata e the album is a treasure.i want the real thing!

death cab for cutie is sheer genuis too.chris walla -their guitarist and producer extraordinaire- creates magic that can match every mood of gibbard's lyrics.

trivia: a former actress -jenny lewis of the indie-country-alternative band Rilo Kiley was the back up vocals on all the tracks of Give Up and she sang Vocals on Nothing Better.

click youtube:search "slumber party nothing better".
that's a project band of mine doing a cover of that beloved Postal Service song.mejo kalat ng kunti but not band for a first gig.hehe.

***trivia! against all odds was named #8 as one of the best covers of all time in a survey of a music magazine (forgot the name).

"Nothing Better" rocks!  :wink:

brings a tear to my eye everytime.  :cry:

yung dntel, may album na narelease last year. dumb luck yung title. daming guest vocalists, mostly indie rockers- conor oberst, yung guy sa grizzly bear, etc etc etc

but his best work as dntel IMO is life is full of possibilities. galeng ng last song tsaka ng  this is the dream of chan and evan!

anyone heard their cover of john lennon's "grow old along with me".


never heard this, and i thought i've heard everything tamborello's done. maresearch nga...

nagsara pa yung tower records...  i think yung pinaka decently stocked record store in manila ay yung sa top floor ng fully booked high street na. i'm not sure pero parang may nakita akong give up dun. if not, at least may small selection sila of electronic music with some things na hindi mo makikita elsewhere sa metro.

other than that, yung HMV sa sg or hk or macau na yung closest na may ok na record store. o kaya online na lang...
Title: Re: the postal service
Post by: Deadwing on September 20, 2008, 12:04:19 AM
Wow.  Kung yung Fully Booked outlet sa High Street na ang pinaka-diverse sa music selection, marami talagang mahusay na musikero tsaka matinong music ang hindi nae-expose sa Pilipinas.  Ilang shelves lang talaga ang stock nila, tapos kulang pa sa archival titles ang inventory sa tingin ko.  May pakiramdam pa akong malamang paliliitin nila ang roster nila ngayong mas tipo ng karaniwang nakikinig ng music na mag-download na lang (that would be another rant for another thread  :wink:).
