VIDEO OF THE DAY — STILL FLYIN’: “SPIRITS”

San Francisco collective Still Flyin’ makes synth-heavy indie dance pop that floats on a sea of ethereal grooviness. On their new album, On a Bedroom Wall (Ernest Jenning, May 2012), the follow-up to their 2009 debut full-length, Never Gonna Touch the Ground, founder Sean “SA” Rawls leads the large troupe through such lighthearted musical journeys as “Elsie Dormer,” “Travelin’ Man,” “Spirits,” and “Candlemaker.” “Ain’t nothing gonna hold me down / Ain’t nothing gonna torch my town,” a chorus sings on “Cleat Talking,” channeling a bit of Matthew Wilder, continuing, “I ain’t no Stephen Hawking / My cleats do all the talking.” Still Flyin’, which features a large cast of characters that includes Yoshi Nakamoto, Tater Moran, Bren Mead, Momo Niubo, Big Lord Saucedo, Gary Olson, Marky Monnone, Thrilla Horan, Izzo Knowles, Mookie Schweitzer-Rawls, Marjan Esfandiari, Jammy Knight, and more, will be headlining the early show at the Mercury Lounge on June 27 with Radical Dads.
