Letters. Remember those? You can’t knock the immediacy of email, it’s true, but most of us miss those hand-written communiqués from lovers, family or friends. Somewhere on the envelope was a postmark, testament to a passage across actual land or sea, rather than a rapid zap through cyberspace. “That’s why the name ‘The Postmarks’ stuck with us”, says Christopher Moll, one third of the Miami trio with that very moniker. “We liked the romantic notion of a postmark documenting a letter’s journey.”
Together with fellow multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilkins and singer/lyricist Tim Yehezkely, Moll crafts meticulously arranged, richly cinematic music with subtle nods to Bacharach, Brian Wilson, classic British indie and vintage French pop. Had The Sundays embraced a baroque aesthetic or Van Dyke Parks orchestrated an especially autumnal-sounding Françoise Hardy album, it might have sounded something like The Postmarks’ self-titled debut.
“We aim to produce songs that sound like they’ve always existed and always will exist”, says Christopher of his band’s chic, sepia-tinted output, and with Yehezkely and Wilkins on board, all is possible. Tim, we should point out, is a gal with a boy’s name; a beautiful, yet inscrutable individual possessed of a soft-textured voice that’s simultaneously seductive and detached. When Tim Yehezkely sings, clocks stop, people listen, and ice cream refuses to melt.
South Florida alternative band The Postmarks, comprised of Tim Yehezkely,Christopher Moll and Jonathan Wilkins, return with the new album Memoirs At The End Of The World. This is a follow up to their self-titled debut album which garnered a 7.9 on Pitchfork.com, graced the pages of Rolling Stone, and reached #7 on CMJ album charts.
