“Big Dreams / False Starts”
Released as part of the 10 year anniversary re-issue of the band’s seminal (and only) album Give Up, the Postal Service’s Turn Around was pretty much my personal favourite song of 2013. Recorded at the same time as the original work back in 2003, the track has the same interplay of Jimmy Tamborello’s Indietronica with Ben Gibbards clever tun of phrase and all round pop songwriting prowess, which even after a decade (and the worst efforts of shameful copycat merchants Owl City) has lost none of its lustre.
