Lately I’ve been getting into The Postal Service, a pretty cool semi-electronica group — pretty good moderate to down-tempo stuff. I particularly like their single, “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight“.

Well on the way home from our small group this evening, I heard this awesome song on The Current. At first I thought it was another song from The Postal Service, but it ended up being Death Cab for Cutie. The lead vocalist sounds A LOT like the lead in Postal Service, but the overall sound of the band is less electronica and slightly more natural sounding in terms of instrumentation. The single I heard was “Brothers on a Hotel Bed” and unfortunately the sample from MPR’s store doesn’t do any justice whatsoever to the song. But it was pretty cool. They’re my next buy for albums, that’s for sure.

Correction: I guess it’d help if I checked the website for Death Cab for Cutie… They have a flash component there, where you can hear the song in its entirety. Very cool. They’ll also be in concert with Franz Ferdinand in April 20th at the Northrup Auditorium. I’d like to try and make that concert.
