Philadelphia, PA’s Literature features Kevin Attics, Nathaniel Cardaci, Chris Schackerman, and Seth Whaland. Attics, who’d written for numerous music trades as a teen, met Cardaci and Whaland at the house venue they both operated in Austin, TX. Cardaci and Whaland each ran small imprint labels and, a million adventures later, the trio decided to form a band. Upon moving to Philadelphia the group befriended Schackerman who also joined the fold. 

In 2012, following a well-received single and a track on Gerard Cosloy’s “Casual Victim Pile II” compilation they released their debut album, "Arab Spring," which became a cult hit within the indiepop community. That album is sharp and immediate, almost mod-ish in its attack, but always tuneful and going for melody where it counts. They toured the US in support, and have performed with the likes of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Eternal Summers, Ted Leo, Sic Alps, White Fence, Gentlemen Jesse, Hospitality, and Brown Recluse. They also appeared on Terre T's Cherry Blossom Clinic.

In 2013 they released a follow-up 7”, “Tie Dye” and contributed a track to Esopus Magazine alongside artists like Jens Lekman and The Shins. They also played at that year’s NYC Popfest, which helped cement the buzz that was steadily growing amongst savvy pop fans. "Arab Spring" was treated to a re-mastered re-press, which followed the first pressing and quickly sold out.

Autumn of 2013 saw the band begin work on their second album, "Chorus," with lauded engineer Gary Olson (whose body of work includes records by Crystal Stilts, Mad Scene and The Beets) at his Marlborough Farms studio in Brooklyn, NY. As a beautiful autumn turned into one of the harshest winters in recent memory, Olson and the band began stretching out, enhancing the album with studio techniques dating back to the late 60s including true-tape flanging, sending vocals through Leslie speaker cabinets, and the same analog style of automatic double-tracking created at Abbey Road Studios.

The result is an album that is as immediate as it is timeless, full of effortlessly catchy and well-crafted tunes that echo pop legends like Smiths and Orange Juice. All of that time in the studio has resulted in a rich, considered sound that puts the band's arranging and playing front and center. "Chorus" is one of the most exciting pop records in years, and marks Literature at true contenders.

Forget It's Good

I keep my clothes, I wanna choke
it’s my fault if we're still here
I bite my neck, I feel upset
and I complain, as always
I just need an empty pool
where I can drown my head
I wanna smoke, dad please quit smoking
I need to take a leak!
I break my Mac, I feel so weak
That I stumble upon you
I don’t want to look so lame
Is this a brand new low?
I’m going mad
It’s been a whole week since I left the bed
I’m hecka sad
Cause I didn’t know I was like them
I just wanna be with my friends
Staying with them and living again
Those old times living with my friends
I pledged my vote, I dig Death Note
I’m thankful for what you did
This cigarette which made you upset
Is the reason you hate me
Well summer’s gone, I’m 24
They all think that I fucked up
But can’t you see how much I’m restless
Let’s wrestle — I’ll punch you
I’ll kick you right in the nose
I love how much you bleed
Please finish this song as I take a poo
It won’t be long I promise you
Please finish my life as I take a break
Gently break my neck

Restless
