The Postal Service talk “impossible” second album in rare interview
Celebrating the 10 year deluxe reissue of their debut album this week, The Postal Service have spoken in a rare video interview – premiering over at NPR.
from their beginnings teaming up on Dntel track ‘This Is The Dream of Evan and Chan’ to the well-documented inspiration of their name (HINT: they used to send their collaborations in the mail), reservations about promoters even wanted to put their shows on and the long-rumoured follow-up to Give Up.
“How do you make a follow-up to something that was never meant to be followed up?” begins Gibbard before Tamborello concedes: “The first one came together in such a natural way that if it happens again it has to feel like that. And maybe that’s impossible.”
