Rough Trade Essential

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

The Postal Service is a Seattle/Los Angeles based group formed in 2001. The collaboration between Ben Gibbard, who is also a member of Death Cab For Cutie, and Jimmy Tamborello on electronics has resulted in a unique blend of indie pop and electronic music.

With their debut album "Give Up" released in 2003, The Postal Service quickly gained popularity for their catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. Their signature sound combines Gibbard's emotive vocals with Tamborello's intricate electronic arrangements.

Known for their heartfelt and nostalgic songs, The Postal Service has become an influential force in the indie music scene. Their music resonates with listeners through its relatable themes of love, longing, and self-reflection. Experience the magic of The Postal Service's music today on our e-commerce website.

The Postal Service is a long-distance collaboration between Ben Gibbard (singer / guitarist from Death Cab for Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (Jimmy recorded the Beachwood Sparks album Make the Cowboy Robots Cry and also records under the name Dntel). Ben and Jimmy sent music back and forth, between California and Washington, each adding new elements until the record was complete. The result is a sweetly charming, largely electronic album with a warmth not typically associated with the clicks-and-beeps set. As an added bonus, additional vocals on the record are provided by Jen Wood and Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis.
