Five years after they last broke up, we’ve received the closest we’ve come to a reunion of The Postal Service, thanks to a new Death Cab For Cutie remix.

Back in 2003, the music world received the absolute ray of sunshine that was The Postal Service. A band comprised of Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard and Dntel’s Jimmy Tamborello, the duo was a luscious mix of indie-rock and electronica, and released their debut record – Give Up – in 2003.

After a few years of inactivity, the pair got back together in 2013 to celebrate the anniversary of their sole studio album, playing a few long-awaited shows in the process.

Now, we’ve received the closest thing it seems we’ll get to a reunion, with Jimmy Tamborello releasing a remix of Death Cab For Cutie’s ‘Summer Years’.

Despite the fact it sounds pretty close to a song by The Postal Service, we shouldn’t get too excited, with Ben Gibbard having confirmed back in 2013 that the band were disbanding permanently after their 2013 reunion.

In related news though, Death Cab For Cutie recently dropped their latest record – Thank You For Today – back in August, and are set to tour Australia early next year in support of the new album.

At this stage, they’re set to hit up Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney, but there’s no word yet if any other capital cities will be visited by the indie-rock icons.
