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.

I Want What You Got

DOWNLAOD >>> http://bit.ly/Rhythm-Control

With my Rhythm Control mix I wanted to explore a slightly different sound than what people know me for in clubs, and create something that sounds timeless. I've drawn inspiration from different places in time and different styles, and I saw this as a way for me to collect into one place all of those more eclectic influences that continue to inspire me. Most of all this is a mix of slow jams and indie rock to bring some heat in on those cold cold winter nights.

Lyrics:
I'm not a stranger
it's just a strange land
It's Getting louder, I leave when I can
Danger here is so quiet
Water here is the fire

Stranger is the fire
Water in the night

(Chorus)
It's in me / it's in you too
Only she could know me
But we haven't met before
I'm feelin / feelin
She think she know me
I don't give a fuck at all

I let them all in / they all wanna stay
I'll tear it all down if that's what it takes
The danger here is I'm higher
Falling further to find it

Stranger in the fire
Lay with me tonight

Face down / can't breathe
It's cold
Just don't need it

NOT ALWAYS HAPPY

Goose Bumps

Blonde Blood

Lyrics: 
Do you remember that day? Do you remember that night?
The one we spent in your room for the first time?
Times were simpler then, we'd meet every weekend.
Now it feels like our love is slowly dying.
Don't let it die over my foolish mind
Because call me selfish, call me rude
I think I'm the only one to see you

Do you remember that day? Do you remember that night?
The one where I realized you've ruined my life.
I was now aware, talking to myself as I grew wear.
Now I know our love was just a facade
And I'll let it die over your foolish lies
And I'll call you selfish, I'll call you rude
You really think I'm the only one to see you.

Selfish

Lyrics:

I wait for
For you
To tell you
What's new
What you do
Is cool
To see you
Right after school

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Heart to heart
Tonight
What's on your
Your mind
Getting late now
So goodnight
Brush my teeth
And fall into bed

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Talking on the telephone
Ask me 'bout my favorite song
How do you do?
Oooh

Oooh
Telephone
Oooh

Telephone (feat. Sonia Gadhia)

produced/mixed/mastered by banz banz !!
sax by sweet boi benny slick !!

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

Decade Ender

Slumberland began operations in 1989 as a collective effort consisting of members of DC area bands Velocity Girl, Big Jesus Trash Can/Whorl, Black Tambourine and Powderburns. We were inspired by such musical happenings as C86, early Creation, Postcard, K, Bus Stop, lower East Side noise, and also the renegade art aesthetics & methods of people like Cage, Burroughs and Duchamp. The explosion of punk had left behind a thriving network of 'zines, labels and distributors and we felt that there was room for our noise-loving, pop-obsessed aesthetic. While there were loads of US indie labels releasing a steady stream of 7"s, there wasn't much pop going on. Notable exceptions included Bus Stop, K and Picture Book, and we hoped to join that group and help chisel out some space for melodies amongst the noise.

Early releases from Velocity Girl, Whorl and Black Tambourine struck a note, and we found like-minded popsters getting in touch from all over the world. As we expanded the label roster and our own horizons, the goal was always to share great songs and interesting sounds from a range of styles. Our first burst of activity through the 1990s and early 2000s brought seminal records by legendary bands like Stereolab, Rocketship, The Ropers, Lorelei, The Aislers Set, Hood and Boyracer.

By the mid 2000s we were seeing a resurgence of interest in guitar pop and the start of the ongoing vinyl revival: the perfect environment for Slumberland! We launched into our latest phase of activity with as string of classic releases from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose, Veronica Falls, Allo Darlin', Joanna Gruesome and so many more.

2025 is our thirty-sixth (!) year we are still at it, ploughing our own furrow and bringing you unique, genre-defining (and genre-defying!) releases from bands like The Laughing Chimes, Humdrum, The Cords, Autocamper, Jeanines, The Umbrellas, Neutrals, Artsick, Kids On A Crime Spree, Papercuts, Lightheaded, Tony Jay, Chime School, Lunchbox and many, many more. Indie fashions come and go but we're still thrilled by great songs and the new ways that pop can be rejuvenated to fit the times.
