The Linda Lindas will their new album, No Obligation on October 11th via Epitaph. Along with the news, the band have shared lead-single “All In My Head” along with a music video directed by James Wyatt. “It has the most indie vibes we’ve leaned into so far because it was written on an acoustic guitar”, says Lucia de la Garza, who wrote and sings on the song. “Recording it was really fun, full of lots of dancing in the studio. “I wrote ‘All In My Head,’ from the perspective of a book character, which kinda brought us out of our comfort zone.” She read the book, My Year of Rest And Relaxation, on tour last summer and the character served as the inspiration for the song. She continues, “It felt like a break from reality, which we don’t usually find ourselves writing about.”

This past weekend The Linda Linda’s opened for The Rolling Stones at So-Fi Stadium in Los Angeles and at the end of the month they’ll be joining Green Day on The Saviors Tour, celebrating the anniversaries of their albums Dookie and American Idiot. Rancid and Smashing Pumpkins will also be joining the tour which kicks off July 29 in DC and includes stops in NYC, Chicago, Austin, LA, San Francisco, and more.

“All In My Head” Lyrics

Falling down is fun now I can’t stop
“Wait it out,” I tell myself, “soon everyone will be gone”

It’s the loneliness
That makes me think this way
It’s the loneliness
That I could never blame

I like it better when it’s all in my head
The doctors know that I have money to spend
And no, it’s not you, it’s me I’ve been talking to
I like it better when it’s all in my head
I like to spend all day dreaming in bed
And nobody knows the pain I’m going through

Making plans sounds likes a living hell
One more day, then another, all by myself

It’s the loneliness, that I hold so dear
It’s the loneliness, that I could never fear

I’m in no state of grace
It’s my privilege to say
I’m in no place to lose
I’m a casualty of
Years spent waiting, for some kind of sign to
Tell me what to do with my time so

I like it better when it’s all in my head
I like it better cause at least I’m not dead
I’m getting better, cause that’s what I’m supposed to do
And nobody knows the pain I’m going through
I’m getter better
Cause that’s what I’m supposed to do
