I have been listening to the Postmarks all week, on the way back home from work.
Stepping out of a certain stultifying space, they soon got me back to my old real world of hope and dreams.
Dreamy, laidback, lighthearted, with sweet happiness built on some small sadness, their music set me afloat 3 inches from the dull concrete pavement and the air is filled with happiness again. And thinking of the beautiful singer make me even happier. Beauty simply makes dream dreamier.
My recent daily 20-minutes romance with them began one day when I got bored about what music to look for on the Net. I searched the "cutest band in the world" or something like that and found the likely contender Elephant Parade. And their cutie song "Goodbye" related to another lovely "Goodbye" by the Postmarks. (There is indeed a chain of fine "Goodbye" songs, and how about "Hello"?)
For a long time I only somewhat like their easy-listening songs, perhaps I was slightly repelled by a certain remix song (always bored with remix, can't remember any good ones, guess their contribution is to make people treasure the original more).
The truth is, I haven't got any of their records. Shame on me! I just make do with the 6 lovely songs that they generously let people download for free.
Only last week I began to listen to them more seriously. And they sound so good to my picky ears, even with sensible lyrics. Good for a massage for the ears and heart. Life is not bad afterall, now I remember.
They've got a newer album that covers some of my favourite songs from my favourite bands. One more item on my endless want list.
