I wrote this on a plane on my phone, and then tracked the vocals when I got home. Need to redo them. Also, it’d be cool if you listened to this with headphones on, because I panned my voice to move around you :)

The artwork is 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.

You come around playing with my heart 
You come around telling me secrets 
You come around asking me why I've been such a fool 

But I'll take it back to the start 
Back to when it was something new 
Change, it comes around, with its reflections too 

It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 

Slide your way on over baby, 
light the cigarette 
stacking up in between your teeth 
yeah, no regrets - baby I said 

It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 

Woo 

It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through the night 
It'll be alright 
If we make it through, make it through

Lyrics

Its gonna be heavy
without my boy Eddie
without my boy Kyle 
He'll be gone for a while 

she said she'd turn me bad 
she said she turn me bad 
until she had one last taste

Ay que bonita

Its gonna be heavy
without my boy Eddie
without my boy Kyle 
He'll be gone for a while 

you said you'd turn me bad
 you said you'd turn me bad 
until you had one last taste

Ay que bonita
