Everything Will Change

Celebrating a celebration, the Postal Services live showcase Everything Will Change captures their performances from June 26-27, 2013, and was meant to put a bow on the bands story a decade after the release of their beloved first (and only, to date) album: 2003s Give Up. Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello, and Jenny Lewis hit each of the ten tracks on the original release, adding the quartet of additional songs that were bundled onto the 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition ("Turn Around," "A Tattered Line of String," "Be Still My Heart," and "Theres Never Enough Time"), a cover of Washington indie pop band Beat Happenings "Our Secret," and "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan" from Tamborellos other project, Dntel. As such, its an ideal one-stop shop for everything Postal Service have done and more, elevated by the crowds energy, endearing stage banter, and live vocals, which inject a much-needed warm, human element to the bands recorded material and push Lewis contributions deservingly to the fore. Initially released in 2020, this live set was later reissued in 2023, just in time for the official 20th anniversary of Give Up (coinciding tour alongside Gibbards main band Death Cab for Cutie) and the 10th anniversary of this concert itself. ~ Neil Z.
