Music video

The official music video for "Everything Is Wrong" was released on January 22, 2015. It was co-directed by Carlos Puga and Interpol frontman Paul Banks.[3] The video is centered on band members Banks, Daniel Kessler and Sam Fogarino as they walk throughout New York City on their way to a concert they will be playing at.[3][4] While it shows Kessler and Fogarino acting nice towards other people, Banks is depicted as a more rude person who bothers others. Tom Breihan of Stereogum labeled Banks as "basically a Jeremy Renner character" in the video.[5]
