[Listen] The Postal Service - "A Tattered Line of String"
The Postal Service will soon dish out a 10th anniversary reissue of their lone release Give Up, and included on that release will be two brand new tracks from the recently reunited duo. Ahead of the release, Ben Gibbard and Dntel are streaming one of those songs, "A Tattered Line of String", which features guest vocals from Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley.
The song fits well into the pair's limited repertoire, with a strong, synthesized foundation supporting Gibbard's affected vocal presence. Stream "A Tattered Line of String" below, and check out the full tracklisting for the Give Up reissue after the jump.
