  • An unprecedented look at the ten year history of The Postal Service, from the initial collaborations that created 2003's sleeper classic Give Up, through to their recent sold out show at New York's Barclays Arena. The Creators Project provides an intimate look at the band and its process: from the dressing room to the digital (re)construction of the music to the moment the band takes the stage.
    Directed by Justin Mitchell: www.justinmitchell.com/

    I found their cd on the floor of my high school, not knowing who they were. From the first song, I fell in love and it helped me with my hardships at that time. It was fate at it's finest moment.

    I'm happy they kept it with just one album, shows how money isn't the most important thing to them cause they could make a lot of another album or right after there first album . Anyways this album was way ahead of its time

    Middle school was kinda hard for me but this album kept me smiling all the way through. I remember listening to it and wondering if I would ever see them live so when I heard about it I got my tickets right away. Thanks for touring and making the best album ever made.

    this band is awesome and underrated, i wish they would come back and make more albums, yah i like there seperate projects, death cab, jenny lewis solo career, dntel etc, but i think they sholdve kept going with the postal service, they had so much potential together, i hope one day we get another album or 2 or 3 albums, or hopefully a reunion again, one day hopefully

    Wow I remember surfing from vid 2 vid on yahoo back in the day hearing some of these songs when I thought it was new I'm 26 now and I was like 15 I guess. Being high on whatever hearing this music played by friends of the past thinking that those days were set in stone feeling those things again and again when I hear great music like this cause I'm caught in moments of my life that I treasure even when they were bad. Good shit.

    Excuse me? I'm not talking about the show. I think it's disrespectful to not even mention Jen Wood's name in a "documentary" of the album, despite her contribution to the vocals, simply because she was not a part of the touring band.
