Botanique"Wandering Rebel takes on a more melancholic and contemplative tone"
In June 2023, beloved Uruguay-born songwriter Juan Wauters, shares his new album, Wandering Rebel, via Captured Tracks. The album features many female collaborators like Frankie Cosmos who sings on “Modus Operandi”, Zoe Gotusso on “Milanesa al Pan and Y La Bamba on “Nube Negra”.
There's freedom to be found in consistency. Until recently, Juan Wauters may not have agreed with this statement. From his early days as a founding member of Queens-based garage act The Beets to his impressive solo career, Wauters has spent the better part of the last decade on the road. Circumstance, however, recently prompted him to reconsider the benefits of staying in one place: “During COVID I discovered / that I like stability,” he muses on the title track of his new album, wich finds him taking stock of how he’s changed, how the world sees him, and what he wants out of life.
Throughout Wandering Rebel, Wauters attempts to reconcile the stability he’s come to enjoy with the nomadic restlessness that’s characterized his life thus far. Wauters’ moments of honest self-reflection lend depth to his penchant for playful musical experimentation.The album is anchored in Juan’s signature Latin-influenced indie folk and feels like it’s written from Juan’s very own point of view : the one of an artist, back in his home country, looking out at the world and considering the life that’s led him there.
