The intro is genius. I hadn't listened to this for more than an year, but the memory came up just now. Cheers bros

The gradation of the whole thing, the changes in rythm, I love seeing people play around!

Debuted in my weekly personal chart on April 30, 2017 edition :)

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.

'Water' out May 10th on Fire Talk

Pre Order: firetalkrecs.com/shop/dehdwater

Love is everyday magic. That’s the impression you get listening to Water, the new album by Chicago trio Dehd. Veterans of Chicago’s increasingly fruitful DIY scene Jason Balla ( Ne-Hi and Earring) Emily Kempf (Vail and formerly with Lala Lala) and drummer Eric McGrady share a strange and inexplicable chemistry. Love rises up into the atmosphere like steam off a summer sidewalk and makes you wild. Love breaks your heart and you consider yourself lucky for it. Like water itself, it surrounds us, it supports us; it’s what we’re made of. It takes the shape of its container. The music is hazy and reverb-drenched, a scuzzy and hyped-up take on surf rock that could only come from the Third Coast. It’s all animated by the red-lining feel-good spirit of the Velvet Underground’s Loaded and the breezy melodicism of C86-era indie rock, with a dash of the Cramps’ spooky-hop bop courtesy of McGrady’s locomotive drumming.It’s a clear-eyed look at the wild nature of everyday life that’s been spun up in sugary sweet melodies and scratched-crystal sounds. More than anything, it’s the embodiment of Dehd’s m.o. from the start: As Kempf puts it, “Work with what you have and make it magical.”

-Description

Here is a Japan’s Hollo-Fi BOYS AGE new song styled that Japanese-Style cosmic horror. The poetry world of this song is influenced by the old folklore and the mystery story of Japan and this is a fantasy literature or a weitd fiction by Boys Age. So only now, Boys Age sing in Japanese. In my opinion , the essence of cosmic horror is... It’s not the madness world of dread. It’s madly genuine love. Boys Age sing the purest love in the solar system on his songs.

ボーイズエイジの新曲は純和風コズミックホラーを題材にしていて、日本の伝承/怪奇譚に影響を受けています。これはバンドによる純和風幻想小説あるいは怪奇小説であり、だから今回は日本語で歌われます。ボーイズエイジの考えに於いては、コズミックホラーの本質は恐怖に狂気的世界ではありません。それは狂おしいほどの純粋な愛なのです。

-Lyric

からたちの傍で姫は待つ　泡立つ闇の海仰ぎつつ
あの星の界に蛞蝓(ナメクジ)が住まう
彼は鬼の様な角を持ち　沸き立つ皮下に星を抱いて
この惑星の空　翼足で覆うように

そうだ　探している　姫を探している
彼女は待っている　もう一度

からたちの傍で姫は泣く　風月(ふげつ)の調べの報せに咽(むせ)ぶ
「もうすぐあの牛が迎えに来てくれる」
星々を掻き取りながら　蛞蝓(ナメクジ)は色彩に揺れる
「間も無く罷り越しましょう」

そうさ　待っている　彼を求めている
近づいてる　もうそこに

暗い夜空で　彼は探していた
彼女は待っていた　悠久の果てに
無窮の途(みち)を　溶け合って
深潭の遠(おち)に　沈んで行く

蛞蝓の嫁(Phantasm Gem)
