Death Cab for Cutie’s "Transatlanticism" and The Postal Service’s "Give Up" have both turned 20 this year and as both bands are fronted by Ben Gibbard they have been on a joint tour where they perform both albums in their entirety. In honor of all this, Car Seat Headrest (aka Will Toledo and band) have covered "Transatlanticism" track “We Looked Like Giants” and The Beths have covered "Give Up" song “Brand New Colony.” The covers form a double A-side single for Sub Pop.
Next year, Ben Gibbard will be opening for himself. Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, both which he is the frontman of, have announced a joint tour for 2023. Death Cab for Cutie will be performing their 2003 album, "Transatlanticism." The Postal Service will be performing their 2003 album (and only full-length), "Give Up." Both are celebrating their 20th anniversary next year.
