Ben Gibbard Calls the Next Postal Service LP “The Chinese Democracy of Indie Rock”

5/16/08, 12:10 pm EST

As Death Cab For Cutie celebrate the release of their second major-label LP, Narrow Stairs, this week, frontman Ben Gibbard cautions fans of his other project, Postal Service, not to hold their breath for a new album from the glitchy electro-pop duo anytime soon. Though beatmaker Jimmy Tamborello recently sent him five new demos to work on, Gibbard says that between Narrow Stairs and Tamborello’s various projects — DNTEL, Figurine — the pair hasn’t had time to focus on making the follow-up to 2003’s Give Up. “The second Postal Service album is threatening to become the Chinese Democracy of indie rock,” Gibbard tells Rolling Stone. “It will come out eventually, or maybe it won’t.”

Death Cab is superior. All of you are smoking crack.

maybe its not such a bad thing considering how disappointing “narrow stairs” was. i couldnt handle such a good songwriter writing horrible songs like “i will possess you heart” all over again.

If “postal service” comes out with a new album, even if it is 5 years from now, I know that me and about 100,000 of my closest friends will buy it, just because its “postal service.” Then think of how many people would buy it because its an amazing album….

“Don’t Give Up”???

We are talking about Death Cab, right? Call it: “All Hope Is Lost. Just Lay Down And Die!”

Call the album DOn’t give up. I’d like to hear the album without waiting the 14 plus years of a certain other band.
