parxchive

hi all! I created this blog for no reason except I love parx and categorising things for absolutely no reason (autism swag)

I'm planning on posting about various things, including (but not limited to):

songs

album art and aesthetics

music videos

interviews

teasers

the band's history

my own personal theories/headcanons (not of the individual members, but musical and artistic themes)

I'd also love to make friends with other parx fans, but primarily this is meant to be a space for me to engage with my love for the band. If anything else comes out of it, I'll consider it an added bonus!

MY BASIC INFO:

23 y/o (if interacting please be around my age)

pronouns: he/him

AuDHD (fork found in kitchen)

musician and artist, parx are a huge inspiration for me so I'll probably go on some theoretical/technical tangents here and there

want to remain anonymous please and thank you

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If at any point I post something incorrect, forget to give credit, or make some sort of mistake, please let me know! It will most likely be unintentional, and I'll do my best to fix it asap!

Greatest Hits (GH for short) is Waterparks' fourth studio album, a huge portion of which was written, recorded, and/or released during the Covid-19 pandemic. The record is a concept album based on the emotional journey Knight experiences in a single night, from when he starts to fall asleep to him waking up the next day. Despite being involved in previous releases, GH is the first album where Knight is given producer credits.

the album has six singles, released in the following order:

Lowkey as Hell (2020)

Snow Globe (2021)

Numb (2021)

You'd Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out to Get You) (2021) - which shares the title of Knight's first book (2019)

Just Kidding (2021)

Violet! (2021)

FUN FACT:

as it currently stands, GH is my favourite parx release and one of my favourite albums of all time! Although I think JINX may well surpass it once it comes out

ALBUM COLOURS:

light blue, hot pink, and yellow

light, yellow-y orange

31/10/23 - Waterparks played a Halloween show at the Roundhouse (Camden, London), dressed as various Christian figures, as part of The Property tour

FUN FACT: a friend and I tried to get Awsten to play Wonderwall during the acoustic set as a joke, but he actually heard us and ended up giving it a go.

Ruined the concert for everyone else involved, 10/10 experience.

SETLIST:

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (or IP for short) is Waterparks' fifth studio album. The record explores themes of religious trauma and guilt, whilst focusing on the relationship between two recurring characters: SOULSUCKER and ST*RFUCKER. After the albums initial release, the band planned to release a sequel (IP2), as they wanted to explore more of the story through the differing perspectives of the two characters. However, due to the emotional toll and vast amount of time the project was taking up, the band ultimately decided to cancel the release. Despite this, there are a handful of IP2 singles that were released, as well as a couple of demos that Knight leaked on various livestreams.

the rollout for the album contained six singles, released in the following order:

FUNERAL GREY (2022)

SELF-SABOTAGE (2022)

FUCK ABOUT IT (feat. Blackbear) (2022)

REAL SUPER DARK (2023)

BRAINWASHED (2023)

SNEAKING OUT OF HEAVEN (2023)

the IP2 singles include:

SOULSUCKER (2024) - the response/sequel to IP's opening track, ST*RFUCKER

FAI2 (2024)

GUILT (INTERLUDE) (2024)

ALBUM COLOURS + SHAPES:

primary red

black

hints of primary blue

hints of primary green, increasing especially around the time of IP2

as of writing this, Waterparks have released three EPs (Extended Plays):

Airplane Conversations (2012)

as well as two demo collections:

1 (A Collection of Unreleased Home Demos, This is Not G, or Even an Album, Shut Up Enjoy) (2020)
