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

Come and say, you never wanted things to end that way
That everything that happened was a mistake
I need sometime so I can comprehend

When you say I do 
I will be with you
Take your time I know you will
They don't love you like I did
By the, way  you walk
I can tell how you talk
I just want you to be real
I don't need your sex appeal

Before, before you go let me know
Once again
That everything happens for a reason 
This is this the last time I believe in fate

When you say I do 
I will be with you
Take your time I know you will
They don't love you like I did
By the, way  you walk
I can tell how you talk
I just want you to be real
I don't need your sex appeal

Say it's forever
It's forever
It's forever

Our Park By Night

Nausea

You want to get away 
But no one ever leaves this place 
You want to go and say 
That there will be no other way 

Wait I want it 
You got it 
Forget it 
You said it 
Over my own sweet time 
Makes everything seem right 
You could see it 
Deceive it 
You know I 
Don't mean it 

You got it comprehend 
That there everything's not meant to be 
Cause nothing's ever free 
Whatever you don't seem to see 

Wait I want it 
You got it 
Forget it 
You said it 
Over my own sweet time 
Makes everything seem right 
You could see it 
Decieve it 
You know I 
Don't mean it
