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.

Literature - New Jacket

Listen to your voice inside my head
Like a flashlight full of battery
It guides me through the night
If you listen to the sounds that wake at night
You'll hear me blowing in the wind
And it'll make you feel alright
But if they listened to the signs they'd be just fine
Escape their sick depravity and step into the light
Could we listen to the stars that shine so bright?
Feel the pull of gravity
As it leads to a new life

Pull up on me
See what she's been missing
I'd ask you to stay
But I'm scared to death that I'll push you away
I'll push you away
I'm scared to death that I'll push you away
But I heard you reading to Ronan
But I heard you reading to Ronan

Reading To Ronan

In Between

Memory Lane

First Single Off the Next Twin Cabins LP

LYRICS:
Hey dont quit
let me go
lay me down, hold me down

it's my love
it's your love

would you say that if I had stayed you'd even try
to lay me down

had I said that I shouldn't beg,
I'd probably lie,
and yet you tried

it's my love
it's your fun

would you say that if I could taste
your morning dew
i'd lay you down

had I said that I shouldn't beg
I'd probably lie
and yet you tried

It's your (my) love

If You Could (Single)

The new single from Lunar Vacation 

lyrics
I could go outside
Let the wind flow through me
If I stood in the sun
I would vanish completely

In my room
I remember you said
If you walk the line then your feet will get cut

You’re so unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky

I see you in the street
Start to wonder deeply
If I changed how I was
How would everyone view me

In my room
I remember you said
If you cross that line
You may lose more than you’d bet

You’re so unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky

Save face for tonight
Keep on thinking
It’s just a line

Save face for tonight
I know you’re thinking
It’s only right

Oh I know I think I’ll never know

That you’re so unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky
You’re in love and I’m unlucky

You’re in love
