This is a pleasant Saturday night surprise. Arctic Monkeys have released the video for new single “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” The single leaked a few weeks back, but this marks the full proper release. And they didn’t go cheap on us. This is a big budget video that is unlike anything that we have seen the band release before.
We see Alex Turner and the rest of the band at a bar (with “Do I Wanna Know” playing), and Alex gets pretty drunk. We then see him drunkenly walk out of the bar and venture home. His head is very far into the gutter and he can’t seem to focus on anything but the deed, which results in many drunken texts to a girl named Stephanie. It’s got a weird vibe, but it’s quite amusing.
The single is of course off their new album AM, which comes out on September 10 via Domino. Check out the video below.
