Literature’s new Chorus (which you can stream here) is a record that really earns the adjective “kaleidoscopic.” Their music is lovingly indebted to ’60s pop, while being in tune with the jangling textures of ’80s bands mining that same sound, but it’s also a record that sounds right at home with indie rock in the 2010s. Together it makes for a colorful mashup of reflective styles. The band’s new video for “Kites” essentially looks the way their music sounds, which is a compliment. Watch it below and look for them on tour.
