“Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”

Arctic Monkeys

By Will Hermes

Sep 05, 2013

A menacing, remarkably funky night-crawling jam from lads who have a track record with songs that address “you” (“I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor”) and that end in question marks (last year’s funky-metallic single “R U Mine?”). From an LP that’s sounding more and more like a game changer.
