The Postal Service have shared Sylvan Esso’s new remix of their 2003 Give Up cut “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.” The updated version arrives ahead of the Postal Service’s extended joint tour with Death Cab for Cutie, celebrating the anniversaries of Give Up and Transatlanticism. Check out the reworked track below.
“‘The District Sleeps Alone Tonight’ was a formative song for both of us,” Sylvan Esso revealed in a press release, adding that the duo’s Nick Sanborn first caught a promo version of the track “pooling out of his car speakers while he delivered pizza.” Amelia Randall Meath, meanwhile, was introduced to it “in the back of someone’s van during her freshman lunch hour.”
Of the new remix, the Postal Service’s Jimmy Tamborello said: “I love Sylvan Esso and was excited to hear the song through their ears. It came out so good, big and tweaky and fun!”
