Autogramm Announce New Album “Music That Humans Can Play” & Share Lead Single “Plastic Punx”

The synth-driven power-poppers, Autogramm, have just announced their latest full length, Music That Humans Can Play, with the lead single, Plastic Punx, released today. Their first album in over two years will be released on vinyl and digital formats worldwide on November 17th via Stomp Records and Beluga Records. They continue the band’s tradition of crafting new wave gems with a power pop twist that draws on influences such as The Cars, The Go-Go’s, Gary Numan and Devo.

The new album was written while Autogramm ultimately reconsidered their future as a band in the time of the global pandemic. Tours were thwarted a second and third time, and being separated between Vancouver and Chicago left the band feeling deflated and on the brink of disbanding indefinitely. It wasn’t until Jiffy Marx decided he no longer wanted to hold down the multiple roles of singer, keyboardist and guitarist that they found the spark which reignited their engines. Enter Lars Von Seattle (The Catheters / Bread & Butter) who rekindled his long-standing friendship with the members of Autogramm during a 2018 co-headlining tour.

“It seemed like right up to the day we started recording this album it might never happen, but not even being divided by an international border (during a global pandemic!) could get in our way, and I think we can all say we are glad it didn’t. Like the song says, we’re all Plastic Punx. Not hardcore punks, anarcho punks, gutter punks, or squeegee punks, but Plastic Punx. The kinda punks that don’t give a fuck, especially about how much money we’re getting at the show–  as long as the venue isn’t too far from the hotel, and the hotel is close to the skatepark and/or the beach.” (Jiffy Marx)
