San Francisco’s favorite hammjammers Still Flyin' spent 2011 hard at work writing their sophomore album, On A Bedroom Wall, releaseed May 22, 2012 via Ernest Jenning Record Co. Still Flyin' have been redefining indie-pop since 2004, drawing inspiration from classic pop songwriting and great times with great friends. Led by Sean Rawls of Masters of the Hemisphere, 2009's much loved Never Gonna Touch the Ground established the band's fun-loving credo, and saw them touring the world, with a little help in their live show from the likes of Isobel Knowles (Architecture in Helsinki), Mark Monnone (Lucksmiths), Josephine Olausson (Love is All), Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor) and Yoshi Nakamoto (The Aislers Set). The band supported the release with show-stopping sets at SXSW, The Great Escape and All Tomorrow's Parties (curated by Pavement).

On A Bedroom Wall sees the band returning with a streamlined live setup to bring a tight new sound to their production and songcraft, mixed with a healthy dose of ingenuity and fun. Following on from the 80s influence and synth-tastic Neu Ideas releases, Still Flyin' have once again upped their game, mixing hook-heavy melodies with signature choral harmonies and roto-toms aplenty. The album was recorded by Haima Marriott of Architecture in Helsinki fame and mixed by Wyatt Cusick who's worked extensively with Love is All. In keeping with the classic production values at the heart of the album's ethos, the album was mastered at Masterdisk in NYC by Scott Hull (Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Yuka Honda, Sting).
