Give Up by The Postal Service

In one of the over 5+ years I spent in community college, somewhere in the mid 2000s, I was introduced to The Shins by the film Garden State, and that, in a roundabout way, sent me on a musical journey through many indie bands (whatever that means) including Death Cab For Cutie, which naturally lead to The Postal Service.
This album is great start to finish, perfect for this format. Just drop the needle, sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the beautiful soundscapes...until you inevitably have to get up to flip the record.
According to the Internet, "[Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello] named the project for their working method: the pair would send demos on burned CD-R's through the mail," since the former lived in Seattle and the latter in L.A. while working on the album.
Side note, I just finished watching Don't Look Up on Netflix and it reminded me of “We Will Become Silhouettes” good times.

Bangers: Such Great Heights (obviously. Fun fact: mah waif [Borat accent] says the intro tickles her ears), Sleeping In, Nothing Better, We Will Become Silhouettes, This Place Is A Prison (personal favorite), Brand New Colony (intro is so freaking good!). The entire album is great.
