New Postal Service delivery: Sometimes it pays not to give up. The Postal Service released their first new song in a decade earlier today, titled “A Tattered Line of String.”

It remains to be seen if bedroom beeps and boops canvased over plaintive yearning hold as much water as they did 10 years ago, but with a reissue of “Give Up” and a Coachella performance ahead, who knows?

Check out music critic Randall Roberts’ thoughts, including his comparison of the Postal Service’s new song to the Pet Shop Boys. Listen below to see if you think Roberts is on the right track!
