Well, perhaps not quite as melodic
Electric President
are EXACTLY what you're looking for. Brilliant melodies, poppy, electronic, a bit weird.

Also:
Figurine (who contain half of the postal service. i.e. jimmy tamborello)

Psapp
Ecstasy Of St Theresa
psapp are the aceness
but not very postal servicesque.. but well worth downloading :)
aaahhh
i downloaded this song last week and then forgot who it was, its been really bugging me aswell, i thought it sounded like ben gibbard a bit
hmm
i wouldn't say +/- are that PS-esque. their first record has some weird almost shoegazy moments on it..
try
Persil
forgot the link...
http://www.myspace.com/persilmusic
listen to a track called "three"
by presents for sally at www.myspace.com/presentsforsally..its melodic,electronic,original,loud and quiet all at the same time..top stuff!!
also its not poppy
but try listening to a band called growing..i have color wheel by them and its really good
The Notwist
For sure.
Efterklang!
They really don't get the attention they deserve!
Electric President..
Tip off of the week. Cheers kovacs.
bump
for this thread - it reminded me to go buy that notwist record!
maybe going a little out on a limb here
but try up up down down left right left right b a start. theyre really good, and theyre kinda poppy and have electronicish bits to them. theyre great.
http://upupdowndown.org/
they have free music as well, which is nice. the internet ep is great. i havent listened to the new one yet, but i reckon itll be awesome too.
that could be one of
the best band names ever!!!
awesome band too
they fit the name too, which is quite good.
try
http://www.myspace.com/schneidertm
the song 'reality check'.
