Postal Service Halfway Done With Next LP

Winter release? I surely hope so! That's the band's plan, as well, although Sub Pop isn't holding them to anything and the guys are surely taking their precious time...

Punk News has the dirt on Jimmy and Ben's next album. Jimmy (aka Dntel) tells the site: If we don't make the deadline we set for ourselves, we can extend it. Sub Pop has never given us a deadline, and we're trying our best to make it in the same environment we made the first one: We have to keep reminding ourselves that we're doing it for fun and trying to keep things casual," he said. "And that's pretty difficult to do, to be honest. I have to keep reminding myself that it doesn't have to sound like a giant mainstream pop record just because the last one got to so many people. I have to remember how the last one sounded — lo-fi and in my comfort level of production — and I want to stay that way.

Just over the weekend, we shared with you Ben Gibbard's solo tour dates. Definitely a show not to miss this spring!
