Loss of life Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service frontman Ben Gibbard uplifts and reminiscences on the music video period that’s the ’80s. Speaking to SPIN for our collaboration with Bose, Gibbard says it’s his favourite decade of sound, though he missed out on being a part of it.
“I’d’ve loved being on the forefront of the music video period,” Gibbard says. “There have been no guidelines, individuals had been doing loopy stuff, the ideas for the movies had been simply wild, and I believe that that may’ve been quite a bit enjoyable to be part of.”
