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.

I Made A Sound

Skating

LYRICS

With the grass so green
Sun coating everything
That day felt a lot like walking through a dream
And with the sky so blue
We snuck into the church at school
To play a song while no one else was watching us

With the sun so bright
Walking side by side
Let me tell you that nothing ever felt so right
And with the sky so blue
A feeling in my heart strings grew
It was then I knew that I would fall in love with you

So blue
Sky so blue
So blue
Just like a dream

I can see those skies clear in my mind
Frozen in time, frozen in time
Like a scene I picked from my dreams
I can’t tell apart from reality
I hope that I can find my way out
Before I get caught in fantasy world
And get too wrapped up in what it could be
Back on my bullshit, I’m such an Aries
So I break down, stuck in my doubts
Jump too far in just to fall out
Things aren’t the way I thought them to be
There’s so many miles still set forth for me
Hop in the car, take the top down
And when we get out, drive it around
Clouds part ways and now I can see
The sky is blue above me
