The Postal Service & Death Cab for Cutie at Merriweather Post Pavilion

The Postal Service released its only studio effort, Give Up, in February 2003. The platinum-selling album was the solo project of the supergroup comprising Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis. Upon its release, Give Up dominated Billboard’s Dance chart, debuted at number 3 on the Independent Albums chart, and entered the Billboard 200 at number 43. Meanwhile, the album’s single, “Such Great Heights,” earned a gold certification in the U.S. Other preceding singles, “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” and “We Will Become Silhouettes,” also garnered critical acclaim.

Ben Gibbard’s main band, Death Cab for Cutie, also released a 2003 record, Transatlanticism. The gold-certified concept album revolved around the theme of long-distance romance. The titles include “The New Year,” “The Sound of Settling,” and “Title and Registration.” Transatlanticism debuted at number 8 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart and also entered the Billboard 200. The album is one of the most influential indie rock efforts to come out of the decade. The band became one of the few artists who connected with indie rock and emo fans, making Transatlanticism an excellent cross-over album.
