'''''Wide Awake!''''' (stylized as '''''WIDE AWAAAAAKE!''''' on the album cover) is the sixth studio album by American [indie rock](/source/indie_rock) band [Parquet Courts](/source/Parquet_Courts), released on May 18, 2018, on [Rough Trade Records](/source/Rough_Trade_Records).

The album was preceded by the singles "Almost Had to Start a Fight/In and Out of Patience", "Wide Awake", and "Mardi Gras Beads", and succeeded by the single "Total Football".

==Background==
The album was first announced in February 2018 and recorded from December 2017 to January 2018 at [Sonic Ranch](/source/Sonic_Ranch) studios outside [Tornillo, Texas](/source/Tornillo%2C_Texas). The band recruited [Danger Mouse](/source/Danger_Mouse_(musician)) to produce the album, as the band claimed, as a way to push themselves outside of their comfort zone. On recruiting Danger Mouse for the album, [Andrew Savage](/source/Andrew_Savage) said, "I was writing a record that indebted to punk and funk, and Brian's a pop producer who's made some very polished records. I liked that it didn’t make sense."<ref>{{cite web|last=Kaye|first=Ben|title=Parquet Courts announce new album, Wide Awake!, produced by Danger Mouse|url=https://consequence.net/2018/02/parquet-courts-announce-new-album-wide-awake-produced-by-danger-mouse/|website=[Consequence of Sound](/source/Consequence_of_Sound)|access-date=May 20, 2018|date=February 22, 2018}}</ref>

In an interview with ''[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))'', Savage described the album having a funk influence, saying, "there's this duality between joy and anger that I find to be really interesting, and that's something the record kind of deals with at large. ... [H]ardcore could be such an angry music form but could make you feel so positive. There's a lot of moments on the record when all of us are singing at the same time and... that's something I kind of associate with hardcore, or Funkadelic."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Enis|first=Eli|title=Parquet Courts on Resisting Nihilism & Why Working With Kids Was 'Pretty Scary'|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/parquet-courts-interview-wide-awake-8456255/|magazine=[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))|publisher=Lynne Segall|access-date=May 20, 2018|date=May 16, 2018}}</ref>

Savage characterized opening song, "Total Football", as "a bit like a manifesto; it's got that bold and declarative language, with each line emphasizing the larger ideology". Savage said that the song addresses the "duality of collectivity and individuality", referencing in its title the [Total Football](/source/Total_Football) system in [association football](/source/association_football). The title of the album was intended as a "tongue-in-cheek" response to "[woke](/source/woke)ness".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Khanna |first=Vish |date=2018-05-16 |title="Fuck Tom Brady!"

Other songs concern endemic violence, addiction, dysfunction, environmental disaster, and the normalization of these things.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Boilen |first=Bob |date=2018-05-18 |title=The Outrage, Angst And Optimism Of Parquet Courts' 'Wide Awake!'

''Wide Awake!'' received critical acclaim upon its release. At [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 82, based on 28 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref name="MC" /> In a five-star review, Emma Swan of ''[DIY](/source/DIY_(magazine))'' called the album, "a gut-punch of an immediate classic".<ref name="DIY">{{cite web|last=Swann|first=Emma|title=Parquet Courts – Wide Awake!|url=https://diymag.com/2018/05/18/parquet-courts-wide-awake-album-review|website=[DIY](/source/DIY_(magazine))|date=May 18, 2018|access-date=May 20, 2018}}</ref> Writing for ''[Exclaim!](/source/Exclaim!)'' magazine, Vish Kanna said that ''Wide Awake!'' "is a letter-perfect musical contemplation of modern times, where social uprisings are actually affecting positive change.

In a more mixed review, Chris Nelson of ''[Mojo](/source/Mojo_(magazine))'' wrote that "unsurprisingly, it flies the [Wire](/source/Wire_(band)) and [Minutemen](/source/Minutemen_(band)) flags high. More surprising are the occasional nods to funk and '60s bubblegum."<ref name="Mojo">{{cite journal|last=Nelson|first=Chris|title=Parquet Courts: Wide Awake!|journal=[Mojo](/source/Mojo_(magazine))|issue=295|date=June 2018|page=95}}</ref>
