Think watching laundry dry sounds almost as boring as watching paint do the same? Well, The Postal Service have just proved otherwise, with this new clip for recently-revealed track ‘A Tattered Line of String’.
The song in question features on the band’s 10th anniversary deluxe edition of debut album, and only record to date, Give Up. The accompanying video starts off as mundane as you might expect, but swiftly descends into somewhere behind a nightmare and a dream.
Meanwhile, Ben Gibbard and co are to make their live TV debut on The Colbert Report tonight (19 June). Watch this video beneath:
