2006 CD Discovery #1 - The Postal Service: Give Up

I decided to try out a new unknown artist/cd per week in 2006. Should be quite easy given the Ipod is always with me. Here Goes:

Artist: The Postal Service
Album: Give Up

Really cool melodic album. This electro-synth pop album reminded me a little of a cross hybrid sound that would be between the Grapes of Wrath, Men Without Hats and Radiohead. Very digital sounding polyphonic melodies. An easy to listn album that caught my ear the first time I listened to it. My favorite tracks were: We will become silhouettes, Brand new colony and Such great hights. I loved it and this album will remain in my regular rotation for the next little while. A definate 8.5 out of 10.
