Taking the buoyant and joyous indie-pop of groups like Architecture In Helsinki and MGMT, San Francisco’s Still Flyin’ sprinkle their bouncing party anthems with everything from dub and ska, to underground jazz and Motown. Lead single ‘Good Thing It’s A Ghost Town Around Here’, is instantly catchy, but makes much more sense when heard in the context of the album. There’s the appropriately titled instrumental ‘Act Of Jamming’, a song called ‘Dead Memory Man’ which sounds like Chicago on helium, and the ode to horror ‘Haunted Houses’. A very mixed bag, Still Flyin’ don’t really deserve to be described in words, because it won’t do them justice. 4/5 Nick Milligan
