Whenever I start feeling a panic attack coming on, I crank up the PS. It's a nice way to chill out.
I'm not aware of any new albums for them, but I do know the new Death Cab is coming out album next month. I'm rather stoked for that.
As far as the question of whether or not either fall into the category of 'Emo' is tricky. Ben Gibbard certainly looks the part, however, if you study his lyrics, he shies away from the most typical Emo imagery "the midnights stars are burning the doves of my lonely soul." blah blah blah. And his guitar stylings actually aren't that close to stereotypical Emo, all I can really equate it to is the sound Seattle is producing right now. Call it what you will. It seems most often to be labeled 'Indie,' but people like to compartmentalize everything like that.
