Second album
quote:
[quote]On June 22, 2007, it was revealed that The Postal Service had begun work on a new album, though the specifics of the release date were ambiguous. 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."[3]
In August 2006, a purported demo from a new Postal Service album, The Importance of Being, appeared on the Internet. Tamborello dispelled rumors about the song having anything to do with Postal Service.[4]
On February 29, 2008, Spinner released an article stating that The Postal Service may 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."[5]
In May 2008, Gibbard stated that he and Tamborello were unlikely to release another album "before the end of the decade."[6]
In a December 2008 interview with Rolling Stone, Gibbard laughed off suggestions The Postal Service’s long overdue follow-up to their 2003 hit Give Up is an indie version of Axl Rose’s Chinese Democracy. Gibbard said both he and Jimmy Tamborello just don’t see it as a priority, in light of their main projects, Death Cab for Cutie and Dntel. 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.”[7]
