Ben Gibbard on The Postal Service Reunion, 00s Indie Rock Movement, & Channeling Slint
Benjamin Gibbard catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Asphalt Meadows, the 10th album from Death Cab For Cutie. The frontman talks about making the record in an assembly line fashion, the anxiety attacks that play throughout the lyrics, and taking stock of his past. Gibbard also talks about channeling Slint on one of the tracks and working with Noah Cyrus on her latest album before turning attention to the upcoming reunion of The Postal Service that will celebrate their 2003 album as well as Death Cab’s Transatlanticism. It’s with that in mind that Ben takes a look back at the indie rock movement of the early 2000s, how making only one album with Jimmy Tamborello has led to the band and LP’s legacy and mythology, and the way his writing and recording has changed since that era.

One of the best interviews I’ve seen in recent memory. So many interviewers talk over their guest and I’m so glad you don’t do that, it’s really refreshing to hear Ben talk so comfortably and open. Loved this.

Great interview. I admit I'm one of those fans that always expected a 2nd Postal Service album but Ben made a great point. Times have changed technology has changed as far as how making music goes, I don't think that very same magic can be recreated again. Ben and DCFC continue to make great music but for a fan like me since the pre-Plans era, their artistic peak (and Ben's lyrical majestic penmanship) was in the Transatlanticsim/Give Up era.
