The Postal Service & Death Cab for Cutie at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre

Postal Service’s platinum-selling album, Give Up, was released in February 2003. The record is the sole studio album of the supergroup, and it quickly became a gem among indie rock fans. Give Up topped Billboard’s Dance chart and peaked at number 3 on the Top Independent Albums chart. The unprecedented record features the gold-certified single “Such Great Heights” and “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.” Postal Service, which has been active since 2001, comprises Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard. The singer-songwriter is joined by members producer Jimmy Tamborello and former lead singer for Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis.

On this 2023 run, Gibbard will perform with his bands back-to-back as Death Cab for Cutie also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the band’s 2003 effort, Transatlanticiscm. The gold-selling record was a concept album that explored themes of long-distance romance. The album, which spawned the singles “The New Year,” “The Sound of Settling,” and “Title and Registration,” received wide critical acclaim and peaked at number 8 on the Top Independent Albums chart. “I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003,” Gibbard said in a statement. “The Postal Service record came out; Transatlanticism came out. These two records will be on my tombstone, and I’m totally fine with that. I’ve never had a more creatively inspired year.” See Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie take over Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on Sunday, 17th September 2023!
