## Summary

Los Angeles punk band the Linda Lindas have announced their new album, Gotta Get Out, and shared a new single, "Closer", featuring Paramore's Hayley Williams. The announcement follows the group's recent move to major-label status, having signed with Warner/Reprise a month earlier and released the single "Burning Out". The album marks a significant step for the band, who first gained attention as teenagers.

Gotta Get Out is due out on 28 August via Reprise/Warner Records and comprises twelve tracks. "Closer" reunites the band with Williams, with whom they have previously performed at a Los Angeles benefit concert and in London, and who they earlier appeared alongside on Paramore's reworks album Re: This Is Why. Band members Bela Salazar and Lucia de la Garza said the song is about feeling a loss of control over time and the importance of staying present, describing Williams as "the queen of emo herself". The track is said to return Williams to the sound of early Paramore, with minor-key distorted guitars.
