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.

AS ELEPHANTS ARE - "Youth Blood"/"Lucifer"

“A life-affirming capacious sound that reaches heady-heights (...) that may make you want to grab the sky by it's chin and surf on it for a bit" (The 4O5, UK)

 “We just have to bow down and accept the magnificence of this track, As Elephants Are, thank you!” Track of the Week (It’s All Indie, UK)

“Modern UK indie pop sound of dramatic percussion swells, delayed tremolo guitars and vocalist Ben Stratford Bombay Bicycle Club-esque croon” 8.2/10 (Blashblahblahscience, US)

“Shockingly good” (Handclap Movement, US)

“As Elephants Are have just stolen my heart! This music is what my dreams sound like!” (Beautiful Buzzz, US)

“And much the same as ‘War Cry’, they pull it off well yet again” (Sounds of Now Music, UK)

“After a stellar first single, 'War Cry', As Elephants Are have released another knockout with the track, 'Lucifer'” (The Peel, US)

"Absolutely magnificent" (Mary Anne Hobbs)

   Picking up where their acclaimed debut single left off, AS ELEPHANTS ARE return with "Youth Blood"/"Lucifer", another blistering slice of epic, widescreen indie which will be available on March 8th via Once Upon A Time Records.

   AS ELEPHANTS ARE formed in 2011 after Ben (vocals/guitar) and Harry (bass) had to collaborate on the writing and recording of music for their college music course. Realising that there was no one else like-minded on the course they recruited an old school friend each in Joe (guitar) and Rob (drums) to complete the recording line up. All four had been music obsessives from a young age but this was the first time they had ever played music with other people who felt the same way. Things gelled immediately…

   Building on the success of their debut single, “War Cry”, which became an instant blog hit as well becoming a regular on XFM’s playlist and Amazing Radio’s A-List, reaching #3 on the Amazing Radio Charts and picking up spins from the likes of Mary Ann Hobbs and Huw Stephens, "Youth Blood"/"Lucifer" provides a captivating second taste of AS ELEPHANTS ARE’s innovative and atmospheric indie-rock.

   “Lucifer" will be available as a limited free download before the single’s official release on March 31st 2013.
