Still Flyin' Announce Live Dates For May And June 2012

New single taken from sophomore album 'On A Bedroom Wall' Released 21st May 2012 On Highline Records

San Francisco's Still Flyin' are set to release their new single 'Spirits' on the 4th June and have unveiled a stream of the single today, following on from premieres on Nylon and Sexbeat. The single is the second to be taken from forthcoming sophomore album 'On A Bedroom Wall', out a couple of weeks sooner on the 21st May via via Highline Records.

'Spirits' sees the band on top tuneful form, with c86 undertones reminiscent of a poppier Wild Nothing.

Additionally, Still Flyin' have announced a run of UK/EU live dates, taking in SoundCity, Stag & Dagger and an album launch happening in London at The Lexington 21st May. Full details are below.

While soaring choral harmonies root 'Spirits' and 'Travelin' Man' in Still Flyin's party-filled past, the songwriting and production evolved from 2010's 'Neu Ideas' releases, layering 80s pop synths with longing and melancholy so profound it's sure to send shivers up your spine. The song speaks of the fraught dichotomy between wanderlust and domesticity - a regular experience for most touring musicians, but a sentiment beautifully stated here. The track was recorded and mixed by Haima Marriott of Architecture in Helsinki fame.

Still Flyin' has been redefining indie-pop since 2004, drawing inspiration from mainstream pop, camaraderie and the best times ever. Led by Sean Rawls of Masters of the Hemisphere, 2009's much-loved debut 'Never Gonna Touch the Ground' established the band's fun-loving credo, and saw them touring the world with a little help from the likes of Isobel Knowles (Architecture in Helsinki), Mark Monnone (Lucksmiths), Josephine Olausson (Love is All), Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor) and Yoshi Nakamoto (Aisler Set).

2012 sees the band streamlining their setup to bring a tight new ethos to their production and songcraft, mixed with a healthy dose of ingenuity and fun.
