INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Product Information

Thank you. That one’s gonna be so crazy live. For “RITUAL,” everything just builds and spirals. That song is like the “lashing out.” Goeman, Collin (May 23, 2019).

It’s a weird thing, I’m not going to keep doing it if it no longer makes sense. But at the same time, I’ll have to still create because that’s just what I do. I think that it’ll still happen, if it makes sense. Sometimes you see bands of dudes that are really pushing it and it’s kind of a bummer after a while. You know what I mean? I never want to be looked at like that.

Producer Zakk Cervini has been a key collaborator since 2019’s ‘FANDOM’, the pair united by similar tastes and a desire to constantly push forward. Sometimes I genuinely forget how involved you are with the scene. Like yesterday with the High Def drop. I saw Blu DeTiger and I was like, Right! She was part of Kitten and they opened for Waterparks. I literally almost forgot about that because it was a long time ago, right before the pandemic. Webb, Richard (January 29, 2018).

When you demo it, I push it to the point where it can’t ever be better than this. We should just put this out. And then I go do the next part with Zakk and I’m like, ‘oh my god, I was so wrong’.

Retrieved April 14, 2023.I wouldn’t want to take away from anybody by saying we’re a pioneer, but I feel like we’ve had it in our system and DNA unknowingly for so long before it had a name that a lot of people recognize. I also don’t want to say the wrong thing here, but I think as far as bands go, I can’t think of another band that would have been incorporating it for as long as we have. So on the more vulnerable side of things, are there are any lyrical moments he is particularly proud of? Knight points to ‘Closer’ and ‘A Night Out On Earth’ as good examples.

I’ve got a really bad habit of only listening to Waterparks. I’m always listening to mixes and critiquing–I am gonna give you real answers, I promise. But one thing that I noticed during this cycle, and especially getting semi towards the end, I wasn’t letting myself listen to music as passively. I realized that I just had it on all the time. Certain things that would normally emotionally hit me affect me more, weren’t doing it as much. I feel like I was almost desensitizing myself to it. When I get in the car, I would just put something on and zone out, so I put on a podcast or like a YouTube thing instead. Then, whenever it was time to listen to music, I would do it sparingly and consciously. When you’re editing your own artwork, you kind of only want to listen to the actual music because that just makes sense. I don’t want to sound like an asshole here but you have to make music for art – well, I guess you don’t have to, but I feel like you probably should,” he continues. “I’m not here to be like an old-man boomer ‘blame TikTok’ blah blah blah, but things are so meme-centric now. The problem isn’t music making its way into memes, it’s when people make it for the meme. It almost undermines art in general.” a b Morton, Luke (January 26, 2023).

Joe is able to bring out a playful element,” he says. “I think a lot of people look at what we do and they’re like, ‘Oh, it’s silly because Awsten makes jokes sometimes!’ but if they could just put that to the side for a second and pay attention, they’d see that a lot of it gets very deep and very dark. Sometimes it’s harder for me to access that goofy and playful inner-child aspect. Joe was like, ‘Dude, you need to bring that out – this song is so crazy that you need to juxtapose the dark stuff with this stuff that feels like early Eminem – but not hateful!’ ( Laughs) And that’s what gave me the idea for the start being so animated and crazy.

It wasn’t innate, it was learned stuff that makes you become toxic.” With the release of their hotly anticipated 5th studio album, Intellectual Property, Waterparks is once again storming the scene and shapeshifting. Bolder, louder, but more intricate than ever, frontman Awsten Knight experiments with new grounds in songwriting as Waterparks once again creates its own sonic Frankenstein.
