The Postal Service

"A Tattered Line of String" (video)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jun 18, 2013

The Postal Service's recently revealed "A Tattered Line of String," off of their expanded Give Up reissue, is about as squeaky clean an electro-pop song you'll ever hear, but the video for the tune is a laundromat-bound mess.

As you'll see down below, the clip finds a guy's whole world going topsy-turvy when he apparently dials up the wrong spin cycle. After getting covered in soap chips, he gets knocked around the establishment and becomes lost in a sea of unsorted regulars and delicates. We see some similar screwy activity affecting a swing-set session, but the girl seems more pleased about her launch than the laundromat loner.

You can see for yourself down below.
