[covers] Brand New Colony - The Postal Service

Whilst I personally feel that not many covers have done the originals justice (although this opinion has changed after stumbling upon [community profile] audiophilia today :D), one of my favourite covers is Teddy Geiger's version of Brand New Colony by the Postal Service.

I was quite excited to listen through Teddy Geiger's album, and even more so to listen to the Postal Service's discography. Both artists have done well in their respective genres of music, bringing uniqueness with their sounds to the music industry.
Brand New Colony is the ninth track of The Postal Service's debut album Give Up (2003), and has to be just about my favourite on their album. The lyrics are heart-warming just like the rest of the songs on the CD, and whilst the original track itself is amazing, this cover is just as much so. Geiger's soft voice and gentle acoustic guitar accompaniment makes a great combination. The entire song is gentle on the ears and is perfect for a sunday morning sleep-in, or a midweek late-night fall-asleep.
