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.

Never Loved Anyway

Hey Good Lookin'

That fly will die 
as this day goes by
Hes not gonna make it through the night
lock em in my sight

I need to lose this pest
So I can get my rest
This pain is driving me insane and that’s why  . . . ￼
The fucking fly must die!

Put it back together 
better than it was before
Like a puzzle picture 
missing pieces we restore

The Italian Swatters "The Fly Must Die" - Summit RTC 5.31.24.wav

Lyrics:
You there, use your morning feet, 
get out of the street and find your feeling 

I'll be there, in your mourning sea 
battered on the beaches of your tears 

I'm bleeding too much water from my eyes. 
I'm heading for the ground I'm going blind. 
You do the best you can to be okay. 
but I'm doing what I can and there's still hate. 

Feel it. Your mind is coming back, 
wiser from the weight of your travels 

So be there. Time is all you have. 
Hold it in your heart against your habits 

I'm bleeding too much water from my eyes. 
I'm heading for the ground I'm going blind. 
You do the best you can to be okay. 
And I'm doing what I can but there's still hate. 

you there 
be there 
feel it 
be there 

you there 
be there 
feel it 
be there

I had this idea of getting a group of friends together and making some folksy country songs but there wasn't a lot of people who were into it. I showed Nick Rattigan my song and he was into it and we recorded it immediately. He played guitar and sang some vocals. I'm really happy that I can share this song with you. Thank you to Alex Bleeker and Kevin Morby for inspiring me to make music like this.

I wrote you letters
I wrote you songs
There's a longing of wanting you
Right here in my arms

I sang your name
But I did it all wrong
You were so special to me
But now I know your gone

Sarah 
You bring me to my knees
You make me want to believe

I dreamt of you 
Up by the mountain
You whispered sweet words
Words I'll never forget

I been looking for you
Missing you so much
Driving down familiar roads 
The roads we used to know

Sarah 
You bring me to my knees
You make me want to believe
