The Linda Lindas Are Haunted in ‘Everybody Told Me’ Video

The Linda Lindas are haunted by past conversations and existential advice on their latest single, “Everybody Told Me.” The song arrives with a Victorian-themed music video alongside the group’s third studio album, Gotta Get Out.

“‘Everybody Told Me’ is always so fun and magical to play, and it was also a really collaborative song to write,” the Linda Lindas’ Mila De La Garza said in a statement. “That back-and-forth environment brought out so many different ideas from all of us, which led to the call-and-response in the bridge and our first-ever fade-out ending.”

She added, “We really dove deep into our emo and sad vibes on a few songs on this record, and had a lot of fun with this one in particular. There was also a lot of spooky creative direction with the ghostly, Victorian feel of the music video — something we’ve never done before.”

Four years on from their debut album, appropriately titled Growing Up, the Linda Lindas have done just that. Their skills as musicians sharpened and expanded with each release, but it’s their songwriting that has transformed the most throughout their evolution. “We have felt very inspired at a time when routine and habits are easy to fall into,” the band told Line of Best Fit. “It was necessary to be inspired and try new things and reinvent and feel hope and all the joy in all those things – making art – in order not to feel crushed every day.”

The band’s live shows are only getting better, too. The Linda Lindas plan on spending the rest of their year on the road headlining a tour with support from the Rat Utopia Experiment, VIAL, Deux Visages, Adan Diaz, and Grace Bowers. They will also join Bleachers on a few of the band’s upcoming dates in September.
