The Postal Service have shared a new remix of ‘The District Sleeps Alone Tonight’ by Sylvan Esso. It arrives a day ahead of the UK and European leg of the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie’s 20th anniversary co-headline Give Up Transatlanticism tour. Listen to the remix below.
“I love Sylvan Esso and was excited to hear the song through their ears,” the Postal Service’s Jimmy Tamborello said in a statement. “It came out so good, big and tweaky and fun!”
Sylvan Esso added: “’The District Sleeps Alone Tonight’ was a formative song for both of us, Nick remembers hearing the promo copy spooling out of his car speakers while he delivered pizza – Amelia remembers hearing it in the back of someone’s van during her freshman lunch hour. Both of us thought the song touched something new then – and to be asked to reinterpret it now is an honour.”
