We've lost all control of our minds, bodies and beverages here at L&L, high-fiving strangers (and even just the air!), as we now have copies in hand of the killer new Still Flyin' album On A Bedroom Wall.
Featuring members of Masters Of the Hemisphere, Red Pony Clock and The Lucksmiths, Still Flyin' have distilled the larger than life pop moments of the 80s (The Cure, Orange Juice, New Order, David Bowie) and barrel-flipped the entire thing, added a cocktail umbrella and a slice of lime and called it a modern-day masterpiece! Observe ~
Adored by fans all over the place for their legendary live shows, Still Flyin' breezed into the San Francisco indiepop scene in 2004 as a 15+ piece reggae jam band and proceeded to blow minds globally with their freewheeling hammjamm group singalongs which would eventually find their way onto their first two EPs Time Wrinkle and Za Cloud. The debut Still Flyin' album Never Gonna Touch the Ground veered off into disco and new wave, spawning the radio hit 'Good Thing It's a Ghost Town Around Here', following which the band jack-knifed a louie via the autobahn and released a bunch of krautrock-influenced singles which would come together on the 2011 Neu Ideas compilation. On A Bedroom Wall now builds on Still Flyin's love affair with the synth and chorus pedal, errecting a bold monument to be adored through the ages.
On A Bedroom Wall is available on CD and vinyl LP in all good Australian record stores (via Fuse distribution) from Friday May 18. Or pre-order the CD from our webstore right now!
Please note: this album is a co-release with these fine labels: Ernest Jenning (US), Highline (UK), Staatsakt (Germany) and We Were Never Being Boring (Italy). Please support your hard-working local label!

Still Flyin' are back with a sneak peek of their latest full-length On a Bedroom Wall.
Through their continual shape-shifting, the San Francisco-based band have added a heavy dose of synth to their chant-laden party jams and arrived at the infectious pop of On a Bedroom Wall, due for release on May 18.
First single 'Cleat Talking' provides the perfect first taste. Built around a repetitive, rhythmic backbone, and with layers of free percussion and summery marimbas, Still Flyin' restate their life-affirming hammjamm credo, letting us know that you don't gotta be no super brain to have a good time — just grab some pals, some brews and a pair of cleats, and you're all set!
Cleat Talking by Still Flyin'
For those among us who are like, "what the hell's a cleat?"...
And with the AFL footy season fast approaching (not to mention the NFL Superbowl, FA Cup and probably a whole lot of other fun outdoor activities), Still Flyin' are running a competition, giving you the chance to do it up in style IN YOUR VERY OWN PAIR OF CUSTOM-MADE STILL FLYIN' CLEATS!
