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.

Oh Honey cover

Lyrics:
Wake up, stood up
My first thought is you 
Your love, your touch
Sticks to me like glue

I remember when you said
I love you
And I realize in my head
I need you 

Your voice, in my head
Is my favorite tune
Without you I know will
Turn, so blue

And when I see you I know
I believe 
That you are my one & only
Dream

I want to know, 
Wha you wanna do
Tell me that you,
That you love me too

And when I see you I know
I believe 
That you are my one & only
Dream

And when I see you I know
I believe 
That you are my one & only
Dream

Pink Blossom Single

Pink Blossom - Single

Pink Blossom

In a plastic garden of variety
I found a soul who has no
Pseudo Identity

And I’m always shopping
Even half asleep
Inside a mall where spirits
Solicit everything

I’ll be your product placement
For free

You ask to read the palm of my hand
The flesh will only tell you
What you want to hear

All this meditation helps distract me
While everyone still stuffers
Maybe I’m a pisces
Diabetic coma diet soft drink face
I hate the reason why I
Love original taste
