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.

Lyrics:
I want to love you at dinner 
I want to love you and take you out to dinner tonight 
I find the secrets that we keep, are so ice cold nice 
And if I was any brighter I'd take you to a place of class 
And get to the table on time, and fill it with your red wine glass 

I think I found a way 
To your heart 

I want to love you at dinner 
I want to love you and take you out to dinner 
I want to love you at dinner 
I want to love you then treat you right 
Oh, yes I believe that 
Dessert is in order 
Now get to the table on time, and let your wine spill all over 

I think I found a way 
To your heart

~~lyrics~~

Why don’t you take off your red shoes
So we can end our night well spent

Why don’t you say what’s on your mind
I won’t run away

I won’t turn away
won't turn away

When morning comes our way
I’ll be here to stay

Staring at a distance
This warmth is hard to find
Sitting in the silence
I gave my best, I tried

Simply a distraction 
I didn’t hope to find 
Sitting by my side 
I hope you’re here to stay

lyrics:
im burning bridges
the fire so goddamn hot
got birds in my cage
to love on when I need pot

how u been
how am I
I've been doing fine 
if ur fine implies that I've been doing bad
did I turn out just like my dad

and the thing about real life
it isn't really real at all
I love the feeling that I get
when I can barely feel
when ur skin is crawling on
don't think that anyone will care
I wanna spend the time I have w u 
:)

am I invited to the party
I can bring a bottle of sympathy to wash it all down
Am I a member of society 
I don’t really wanna b but i can play along

real life

Out Of Touch

This song is about our experience in LA last summer. It was our first time out of state as a band to finish some songs off of our recent EP. We had planned on working with an artist who offered to mix our songs and let us crash at his place. The day of the departure he ghosted us without any explanation, we arrived at LAX, with literally no place to stay and from there the inspiration came about.
