The album art for Literature's Anthology

Anthology

Literature’s Anthology is easy to digest, but also a ton of fun — and very reminiscent of The Strokes.

Right now, I see 94 listens of this album on Rdio. That’s really sad to me. This is one of those indie rock records that’s stupidly fun, and sort of reminiscent of some of the better Strokes records (Is This It? being chief among them).

Listen to Lily, for example — this sounds familiar to the point that I’m wondering what Strokes song they stole the chorus from. But I’m not complaining. Push-Up Bras is a winner too. It’s Cruel reminds me of some of the old-school Ramones records. O.J. is about as mellow as the record gets — which might not be surprising when you think about orange juice as a subject matter. The longest song on the record is two minutes and fifty-one seconds, meaning that this is the very definition of quick and dirty. Definitely worth checking out.
