Update:

However, a recent fun fact from their Wikipedia page (and for a great cause): "On October 6, 2020, The Postal Service created new social media accounts for the band and teased an announcement for the following day. The announcement was a mock video conference featuring several musicians and celebrities urging people in the United States to vote in the November election."
