Juan Wauters
Who Me?
[Captured Tracks]
Juan Wauters, much like his most pronounced influence, Jonathan Richman, trades in a brand of profound juvenilia. The title alone, signposts Wauters coy, ‘aw shucks’ persona, and each song wisps past in a sweetly oblivious, non-committal fashion, like Wauters would trot out these rough gems whether anyone was paying attention or not. His goofball charm never undercuts the record’s sincere reflections though, it’s just waiting for those who are un-jaded enough to engage the requisite receptors.
