The Postal Service - Give Up


Yes, i know, i also think a Sigur Rós review will be adequate for a start...but i am a little bit lazy to do that...

Anyway, Give Up by The Postal Service released in 2003. I and several friends(not so many) of mine discovered them while we are in our Notwistian phase of our short lives. I liked first two songs actuallt at that time. District sleeps alone tonight and Such Great Hights... I never really listen the album entirely...

There are 8,949,959 plays scrobbled on last.fm which is a huge number i guess...So there are lots of fans out somewhere in indie universe...P.S consist of a guy from death cab for cutie(i really don't like them), and dntel(which i really like his work)..

2 years later, listened it entirely...

This album, in my own view, must be listened while drinking coffee, or baileys-coffee, or a slow-drink...by the window...watching people walking...or just staring out though the emptiness... It is a sit-think-drink-listen album...

I may say that everysong has its own value but when you listened it entirely, i sense that every song is similar to another...A catchy tune, some drum riff(can we say that?) lyrics, a chorus and a bridge...in indielectronica way...but it's cool...They taste different but looks alike...who cares...

I will not go into detail of everysong which will be boring..so i decided to choose from now on a song to describe...so the winner is...

This place is a prison is the most impressive work out of this 10 track album. It has powerful lyrics -I know that it's not a party if it happens everynight-, a slow but still catchy tune, drums that come in to play on time, dramatic syths...like a movement in your brain, sends you out in to the rain...
