Autogramm, recently released a video for the title-track single off their forthcoming release No Rules. The full-length is due out April 16 via Nevado Records (Deap Vally, Royal Canoe). The video is a shot-by-shot recreation of Billy Joel’s 80s MTV-era masterpiece, “Sometimes A Fantasy.”

The quartet Features lead vocals from The Silo (Destroyer, Spun Out, Black Mountain, Lightning Dust), he notes regarding the track’s inspiration… “I’m an enthusiastic dancer. Skilled? No. But I love to dance, and this song is an ode to my relationship with dancing: Flex abandon, enter the void!

It’s one of my favourite things to do. I don’t believe there are any rules in dance, apart from not hurting anyone else or infringing upon their personal space. It might seem weird to begin a song called “No Rules” with two rules, but it’s kind of like a snake eating its tail, no? No rules for no rules, including the absence of rules…”

Autogramm bassist CC Voltage on the video for “Sometimes A Fantasy.”

“we email videos around to each other all the time. Sometimes to inspire us, sometimes to discover something new, or sometimes just to have a laugh at a ridiculous music video. In this case it was the latter.”

The band includes guitars and vocals from Jiffy Marx (Hard Drugs, Blood Meridian), Autogramm draw on influences from The Cars, The Go Go’s, Gary Numan, 20/20 and Devo.
