The September 10 release of Arctic Monkeys' latest LP, AM, is less than month away, and the band have shared a video for the album cut "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?"

The catchy track, which finds the British rock band incorporating slinky R&B influences and beat-driven grooves into their sound, finds frontman Alex Turner attempting to woo a lady via a late-night phone call. The video brings this scenario to life, as the chemical-addled singer stumbles out of a bar and pesters a woman via text while experiencing some frightening and lusty hallucinations.

AM is due out through Domino.
