Jimmy Tamborello isn’t a household name but his work as Dntel (especially 2001’s “(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan” which arguably created not only The Postal Service but nearly one billion other like-minded electronic/emo hybrids that continue to pop up irregularly to this day and show no sign of dying off anytime soon) and as half of The Postal Service (along with Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard) has earned him worldwide recognition — especially if you frequented hip clothing stores, hip coffee houses, or were subjected to hip movie trailers in the early 00s.
Tamborello is set to return this May with Aimlessness, his first LP of new material in five years. The LP is his first with Pampa Records, a label run by DJ Koze and Marcus Fink. Tamborello reports on his Tumblr (Dying Songs) that Aimlessness will feature “a little” of his own singing as well as guest vocals by both Baths and Nite Jewel, which re-affirms that the people love their special guests (and backing beats) and the people will not be denied.
