After announcing it earlier in the week, Waterparks have just shared another new banger: SELF-SABOTAGE.

The latest single in the Texas trio's next chapter – following May's FUNERAL GREY – hears Awsten Knight spectacularly hitting some high notes in the chorus ('So I might drive my car and crash into your garage, ooh'), as well as offering plenty of insight into what's on his mind ('What the fuck is wrong with me?').

Stream SELF-SABOTAGE below:

Speaking to Kerrang! recently about this next era of the band, Awsten shared of the follow-up to last year's Greatest Hits: “A lot of what’s been – and being – written is very extroverted, because Greatest Hits was conceptually over the course of a night, and had a lot of references to indoor shit, and this one I wanted to feel almost like a reintroduction into daytime.

“And that’s kind of how things are right now – I’m not saying, ‘Everything’s over, throw away your masks!’ I’m not saying that at all, but people are going back out into the world, and they’re re-socialising and re-experiencing things again for the first time in a long time, and a lot of these songs are about those kinds of connections.”

Waterparks are touring the U.S. this summer.
