The Postal Service’s nostalgia trip, last night at the Midland


Last night at the Midland, the Postal Service proved that there’s more to a reunion tour than nostalgia – even if that’s what’s filling up the seats. Ten years after the release of the band’s first and only album, the now-platinum Give Up, synth-pop brainiacs Jimmy Tamborello and Ben Gibbard have lost none of their enthusiasm. Neither have their fans. The Postal Service’s second of two sold-out nights at the Midland saw the adoring audience matching Gibbard lyric for lyric.
