"Hazy Past" is a small release and pairing of two new songs which will be included in a future full length record I've been working on in recent months. For this batch of tracks I'll be hand-dubbing and self-releasing a limited number of cassettes (30 in total) which will be available for purchase online soon.

Hazy Past

What do I say? My heart feels like you're never near. 
What do I do? Admit I was a fool for you. 

Trapped myself back, sinking into a hazy past. 
Fell into dreams, a place with more sincerity. 

Not this time, She's not mine. 

Now we lie, a state where we shouldn't be. 
Strangers now, lift your eyes and look at me. 

How could I say, my feelings are true? 
Desperate today, I have to have you. 

Selfish things tell me I can never be 
A heart at peace, a head of smiling. 
Convince myself I was someone you'd never see. 
Convince myself I was someone you'd never see. 

I won't mind, say you're mine.

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.

thank you jenna mcmane for the beautiful ARTWORK :)

stay a little while wont you babe?
roll that little number, do your thing
im in love, you feel the same
come to me and maybe we could play
but lights fade and il have to go away
il lay by your side

drive to the woods far away
set our little picnic in the shade
playing cards, feeling tame
because at night now we can freely bang
but thats not it, its also innocent
il lay by your side

Eating snacks is important. Crying also.

Lyrics:

at first it felt like a funeral, 
where tulips rose under the mistletoe 
but then i realized, it was a wave of shock ever growing, 
steady ridin in to the rain that petrifies 

if she hits you like a car 
relax and rinse your heart 
if you feel you'd rather die 
just eat some snacks and cry 

to be honest i know i no longer long for you, babe 
i just really miss what we had, and lying in a bed 
but this tyrant spell wont leave me 
the color chrome sadness is what i eat all day 
our dried up pool's drowning me 
even the stars stopped flaring, and a hundred pups wont make me smile 

if she hits you like a car 
relax and rinse your heart 
if you feel you'd rather die 
just eat some snacks and cry
