The Postal Service is an American electronic indie pop band composed of vocalist Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and producer Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, Headset and Figurine.
The band's debut album, Give Up, was released on February 18, 2003.Several songs on the album feature guest vocals from Jenny Lewis, solo artist and the lead singer of Rilo Kiley, as well as vocals from indie rock musician Jen Wood. Chris Walla produced the album, and played the guitar and piano on several tracks. Though both artists' main bands were still active at the time, The Postal Service supported its full-length album Give Up with a successful concert tour and has stated its intention to tour again in the future. The album's most well-known single was "Such Great Heights". The beginning of the song is featured on a UPS commercial. The song was later covered by Ben Folds and Iron and Wine. The latter version appeared on the soundtrack for the film Garden State, as well as an M&Ms commercial. The album was the Sub Pop label's most successful release since Nirvana's debut album Bleach.
