The Postal Service was an American indie pop group from Seattle, Washington, consisting of singer Ben Gibbard, producer Jimmy Tamborello (also known by his stage name, Dntel), and Jenny Lewis on background vocals.
The band released their sole studio album, Give Up, in 2003 on Sub Pop Records, to mostly positive reviews. The album reached number 45 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and received platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. The group decided to disband two years later, viewing attempts at a follow-up as unnecessary.
The band has regrouped twice for the anniversaries of Give Up, in both 2013 and 2023; each time they were accompanied by a rotating cast of support musicians, including Laura Burhenn, Jen Wood,{{cite web |url = http://sonicawareness.net/post/53027502465/show-recap-the-postal-service-mates-of-states-nyc |title = sonicawareness.net: Show Recap: The Postal Service / Mates of States @ NYC 6/14/2013 |access-date = June 18, 2013 |author = Ambrose, Anthony |archive-date = September 10, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130910031327/http://sonicawareness.net/post/53027502465/show-recap-the-postal-service-mates-of-states-nyc |url-status = dead }}{{cite web |url=http://rockcandy.omaha.com/2013/08/02/column-my-picks-for-lollapalooza-including/ |title=Column: My picks for Lollapalooza including Postal Service, The Vaccines, more | Rock Candy |publisher=Rockcandy.omaha.com |date=August 2, 2013 |access-date=February 10, 2014 |archive-date=November 4, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131104091652/http://rockcandy.omaha.com/2013/08/02/column-my-picks-for-lollapalooza-including/ |url-status=dead }} Dave Depper and Jason McGerr.

History
=Formation (2001–2003)=
The group formed after Ben Gibbard contributed vocals for a song by Jimmy Tamborello called "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan", from the Dntel album Life Is Full of Possibilities. The song sparked an EP of remixes of other artists, such as Lali Puna, The Flaming Lips, Safety Scissors, Barbara Morgenstern and Superpitcher, and was so well-received that the two artists decided to further collaborate. The third member of the band, Jenny Lewis, recorded vocals for several tracks before eventually becoming a full-fledged member of the band, sharing vocals and instrumentation in their live shows.
The band's name was chosen due to how it produced its songs. Due to conflicting schedules, Tamborello wrote and performed instrumental tracks and then sent the DATs through the mail to Gibbard, who then edited the song as he saw fit (adding his vocals along the way) and sent them back to Tamborello. Ironically, despite the final name they chose for the project, they did not use the United States Postal Service as a courier; the CDs were sent through either FedEx or the United Parcel Service.Anderson, Kyle (April 19, 2013). "The Postal Service's 'Give Up': An oral history of the indie side project that became an aughties touchstone – and a platinum seller". Entertainment Weekly. Retrieved October 19, 2019.
=''Give Up'' (2003–2007)=
The band's debut album, Give Up, was released on February 18, 2003, on Sub Pop Records. Several songs on the album feature guest vocals from Lewis, as well as vocals from indie rock musician Jen Wood. Additionally, Gibbard's Death Cab for Cutie bandmate Chris Walla played the guitar and piano on several tracks. Although both Gibbard and Tamborello's main projects were still active at the time, The Postal Service supported the album with a successful concert tour and stated its intention to tour again in the future.
Give Up received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America in March 2005, and later receiving platinum certification in October 2012. The album was Sub Pop's most successful release after Nirvana's debut album, Bleach.{{cite web | url = http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/news.php?table=news&display_type=news_full&id=400 | title = Postal Service's Give Up Goes Gold, iTunes Exclusive, And More! | access-date = February 18, 2005 | date = February 18, 2005 | publisher = Sub Pop | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20050226200351/http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/news.php?table=news&display_type=news_full&id=400 | archive-date = February 26, 2005}}
The album produced three singles, the most well-known single being "Such Great Heights", which was released as Give Up's lead single. The song featured in advertisements for UPS, Kaiser Permanente, and M&M's, as well as being the first theme song for ABC's Grey's Anatomy in 2005. A cover of the song by Iron & Wine was featured on the soundtrack for the 2004 film Garden State. It was also later covered by Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, The Scene Aesthetic, Brack Cantrell, Streetlight Manifesto, Confide, Gareth Pearson, Joy Kills Sorrow and Postmodern Jukebox. Confide would later release a music video for their cover of "Such Great Heights". The second single, "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight", was featured in the soundtrack of the 2004 film D.E.B.S. and later covered by British singer-songwriter Frank Turner. The third and final single, "We Will Become Silhouettes", was covered by The Shins, and the original version was featured in the trailer for the movie Funny People.
==United States Postal Service controversy==
In August 2003, the United States Postal Service sent the band a cease and desist letter, citing the band's name as an infringement of its trademark on the phrase "postal service". After negotiations, the USPS relented, allowing the band use of the trademark in exchange for promotional efforts on behalf of the USPS and a performance at its annual National Executive Conference.{{cite web | url = https://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20041106-4376.html | title = Postal Service delivers, and now rocks | access-date = June 11, 2004 | author = Locklear, Fred | date = June 11, 2004 | publisher = Ars Technica }} Additionally, at one point the USPS website sold the band's CDs.{{cite web |url = https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10052&productId=10006172&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10000001&top_category=10000001&categoryId=10000015&top=¤tPage=0&sort=&viewAll=Y&rn=CategoriesDisplay&WT.ac=10006172 |title = Product: Postal Service "Such Great Heights" EP |access-date = September 13, 2009 |publisher = United States Postal Service }} In 2007, "Such Great Heights" appeared in the background of the "whiteboard" advertising campaign for one of the federal establishment's private competitors, the United Parcel Service.{{cite news |title=Postal Service's music promoting UPS' business |date=January 19, 2007 |work=The State}}
=Possible second album (2007–2012)=
On June 22, 2007, it was revealed that The Postal Service had begun work on a new album, though the specifics of the production and the release date were vague. Gibbard stated, "We're slowly starting. We're crawling right now, and whether that crawl turns into a walk remains to be seen. But we'll know more towards the end of the year. I've just been touring so much and trying to find time to make it happen and make our schedules line up." Tamborello added, "We're talking about wanting to finish an album by sometime next year, because we have to work with Death Cab's schedule and stuff. I definitely want to do another one."{{cite web | url = http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1534893/20060622/postal_service.jhtml | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070329011552/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1534893/20060622/postal_service.jhtml | url-status = dead | archive-date = March 29, 2007 | title=Postal Service Prepping Next Delivery: Second LP | access-date=January 12, 2008 | author=Montgomery, James | date = June 22, 2006 | publisher = MTV }}
On February 29, 2008, Spinner released an article stating that The Postal Service might not release a new album. Ben Gibbard stated, "Jimmy and I are still throwing ideas back and forth, but as time goes on, we find ourselves busy with our own music. ... We have some stuff, but it's been difficult to find the time and the drive to do the record. I'd love to finish it at some point and maybe even do some performances. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."{{cite web | url = http://www.spinner.com/2008/02/29/postal-service-not-delivering-new-album-anytime-soon/ | title=Postal Service Not Delivering New Album Anytime Soon | access-date=February 29, 2008 | author=Luerssen, John D. | date = February 29, 2008 | publisher = Spinner }} In May 2008, Gibbard stated that he and Tamborello were unlikely to release another album "before the end of the decade."{{cite web | url = http://www.teletext.co.uk/planetsound/news/0682862ff3c2f6e5513e4287553a417b/Postal+Service+shuts.aspx | title=Postal Service shuts? | access-date=May 8, 2008 | author=Teletext | author-link=Teletext | date = May 8, 2008 | publisher = Teletext}}
In a December 2008 interview with Rolling Stone, Gibbard laughed off suggestions that The Postal Service's long overdue follow-up to their 2003 hit Give Up would be an indie version of the Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy, which took 15 years to produce and release. Gibbard said that both he and Tamborello do not see it as a priority in light of their main projects, Death Cab for Cutie and Dntel, respectively. He said, "The anticipation of the second record has been a far bigger deal for everybody except the two of us... I don't know about it being the indie-rock Chinese Democracy, but now that Chinese Democracy has come out, I guess it just becomes the second Postal Service record that will never come out. There never really was a plan to do a second album. We work from time to time together but we have other things that take up all of our time."{{cite magazine|title=Death Cab's Ben Gibbard Talks "Something About Airplanes", Obama, The Postal Service|magazine=Rolling Stone |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/14844/93773/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100911072040/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/14844/93773/|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 11, 2010}}
In November 2012, Ben Gibbard posted on his Twitter account that there are "no plans" to produce another Postal Service record, and did not cite any specific reason for this statement, other than the fact that multiple fans questioned if there was going to be a second album.
On a 2025 episode of the Bandsplain podcast, Ben Gibbard stated (perhaps in jest) that he would make a second Postal Service album if English rock band The La's themselves ever released a second album.{{Cite news|title = Bandsplain - The La's With Ben Gibbard|url = https://www.theringer.com/podcasts/bandsplain/2025/02/27/the-las-with-ben-gibbard|website = The Ringer|date = February 27, 2025|access-date = March 3, 2025}}

On August 3, 2013, Ben Gibbard announced on Twitter that the Lollapalooza after-show would be the last Postal Service performance ever, and that the band would formally disband permanently after the show, finally quashing rumors of a highly anticipated second album. The band played their last live show at the Metro Chicago on August 5, 2013.
=Subsequent collaborations, releases and ''Everything Will Change'' (2014–2022)=
As an end punctuation mark to their career, The Postal Service released the feature-length documentary concert film Everything Will Change on October 7, 2014, filmed during their two performances at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA, July 26–27, 2013.

=''Give Up'' 20th Anniversary Tour (2023–2024)=
In late summer 2023, The Postal Service reunited again for a co-headlining anniversary tour with Death Cab for Cutie. The Postal Service performed Give Up in its entirety, while Death Cab for Cutie performed Transatlanticism in its entirety, in celebration of the 20th anniversaries of both albums. {{cite web |last1=Bloom |first1=Madison |title=The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie Announce 2023 Tour |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/the-postal-service-and-death-cab-for-cutie-announce-2023-tour/ |website=Pitchfork |date=December 8, 2022 |access-date=December 8, 2022}} The tour originally consisted of 17 shows. However, due to high demand many more additional shows were added, with the tour lasting into September 2024. Give Up was played in full at each show, followed by an encore of "Such Great Heights" on acoustic guitar and a cover of "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode.
In August 2024, ahead of the band's UK and European leg of the tour, Gibbard reflected on whether there could be a second The Postal Service album, noting: "I think the main reason that a second Postal Service record has never come to fruition – and will never come to fruition – the time commitments that Death Cab ended up taking, which really started with Transatlanticism, haven’t really ever let up. There’s just not enough time, let alone creative juices flowing, to make a suitable follow-up [to Give Up]. I think anything that we would attempt to make at this point would be thoroughly disappointing. The stakes are just lower [in Death Cab] when you’re putting an album out every two to three years. If people don’t like this one, there’ll be another one later. But after 20 years, there is no way we could ever follow that up in a way that would be satisfying to people. I would rather have all my focus on Death Cab than be watering both projects down. I just don’t have the capacity to do both. Some might argue I barely have the capacity to do one!"{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/ben-gibbard-death-cab-for-cutie-postal-service-interview-all-points-east-new-album-3784887|title=Inside Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service's anniversary tour: "It's been more informative than nostalgic"|website=NME|last=Shah|first=Rishi|date=August 19, 2024|access-date=August 26, 2024}}
