ALL POINTS EAST FESTIVAL- THE POSTAL SERVICE (London Victoria Park, 25/08/24)

Happy to report Gibbardfest absolutely exceeded my expectations: Death Cab hit me right in the feels ("Transatlanticism" is one of my all-time favourite live songs) and The Postal Service delivered a bright burst of electro-poppy nostalgia to wrap up a very busy bank holiday weekend. And let's not forget The Decemberists, who provided a timely reminder of their cut-throat folk brilliance with a truly barnstorming if all-too-brief set. The mid-Noughties really were the glory days, eh?
