The Postal Service | Some Idealistic Future (Documentary)

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.

    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.
