In line with the branding of their latest single, Waterparks have kept very low-key about their most recent release until the very moment it came into the world.

Houston pop-rock trio Waterparks are quite good at whipping up a frenzy whatever they do and wherever they go. It might come as no surprise then that a private reprieve was slightly needed amongst all of this public attention, and that’s what their newest single Lowkey As Hell aims to tackle. Set amongst an irresistibly catchy melody and an explosive chorus, it spills some of the more private thoughts and feelings experienced by frontman Awsten Knight over the last year.

Speaking more about the release, Awsten shares:

The song is a recap of the last year or so. It really describes what’s been going on and who I am. When I’m on stage, I’m a forward-facing, extroverted presence. At the same time, I’m also the biggest hermit ever. I just like to stay in, ignore my phone a lot, and write. I’m naturally reserved in my day-to-day life. The juxtaposition of loud materialism versus private emotion in that opening line really encapsulates the feeling I wanted to get across in the rest of the song.
