nope. Definitly not, but that would be a RAD colaboration.
Frou Frou is made of Imogen Heap (chick singer) and Guy Sigsworth from Paris. But they split up, be it permanent or not. Both Frou Frou's album: Details, and Imogen Heaps Album: Speak for yourself, are pretty good. If you like postal service you will like them. IMHO

I dont know if this what you meant, but postal service doesn't exist without Ben. Techincaly its Dntel and Ben Gibbard. If you wanna here The Postal Service without Ben, download some Dntel, its pretty cool stuff..not quite as accesible, but quality work. The first song they ever did together:
Dntel feat. Ben Gibbard - The Dream of Evan and Chan.
Its a wicked song.

their lyrics are kinda weak . but i like them more than death cab, and the beats they use are tight.

Yeah, they're good, I put them in my "mood" music, have to be in the right mood to listen to them - but isn't all music that way?
