Kendra Sheetz Synth-driven power-pop band from Seattle, Chicago and Vancouver, Autogramm, has released their latest single on both Dirt Cult Records and Germany’s Goodwill Records. The vinyl 7″ single features the band’s newest composition, “Randy,” and is backed with the song “Jenny’s In A Sleep World” by Toronto’s punk legends The Diodes. Originally released in 1979, The Diodes enthusiastically endorsed the synthed-up cover version of the song.
The new single follows Autogramm’s tradition of crafting sing-along new wave anthems, but this time with a humorous twist. “Randy” was originally slated to be released as part of their latest album, Music That Humans Can Play, but was omitted as the subject of the lyrics became inaccurate. Being a self described “cat band” they naturally – after some deliberation – decided to re-record the vocals and dedicate the content of the lyrics to their drummer’s cat, Randy.
Drummer The Silo explains the lyrics he penned for the song:
“It’s a letter to a good friend, in need of a little confidence push. Everyone needs an ego boost sometimes. Even if they’re a cat.”
The new Autogramm single comes in conjunction with the announcement of their Spanish tour dates this March. The Spanish tour will also be in support of their latest album Music That Humans Can Play released on vinyl and digital formats via on Stomp Records and Beluga Records (EU).
