"Hazy Past" is a small release and pairing of two new songs which will be included in a future full length record I've been working on in recent months. For this batch of tracks I'll be hand-dubbing and self-releasing a limited number of cassettes (30 in total) which will be available for purchase online soon.

Hazy Past

What do I say? My heart feels like you're never near. 
What do I do? Admit I was a fool for you. 

Trapped myself back, sinking into a hazy past. 
Fell into dreams, a place with more sincerity. 

Not this time, She's not mine. 

Now we lie, a state where we shouldn't be. 
Strangers now, lift your eyes and look at me. 

How could I say, my feelings are true? 
Desperate today, I have to have you. 

Selfish things tell me I can never be 
A heart at peace, a head of smiling. 
Convince myself I was someone you'd never see. 
Convince myself I was someone you'd never see. 

I won't mind, say you're 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.

lyrics:

i should probably try to stay wake
better off i should do what i say
maybe then i wont procrastinate
i wont

never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
ok? i-i-i-i

ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
i-i-i-i

spent the night up so i walked around
learned a four string and i settled down
wishful thinking now i get around
i know im not the only one

never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
ok? i-i-i-i

ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
i-i-i-i

two beds in one big room
tuesdays...
they'd go, we'd stay  

i guess that's family life?
no way that this is how we'll stay

your face says lets get out 
ok...
rebel and lets get out 
ok...

you know that i…
i wanna say

'how you doing? how ya been?''
i wanna say...
'ill see you in three months again'
i wanna say...
'remember how we'd wish it end?'
i wanna say…
'kind of my fault were just friends'
i wanna say…

don't think i don't care
i wanna say…

you could say i mind it, when i think back day by day  
i feel fucked up when you ask 'can i see you?'

your face said lets get out 
ok...
rebel and lets get out 
ok...
your face said lets get out 
ok...
rebel and lets get out 
ok, how about today?

how you doing? how you been? 

how you doing? how you been? 
how you doing? how you been? 
how you doing? how you been? 
you used to be my only friend..
