Of all the times to travel around the US jamming with fellow songwriters for a new album, Uruguayan- American troubadour Juan Wauters had to pick 2019-20. The pandemic meant this album included fewer collaborations than intended, but it still offers arresting cuts such as “Monsoon” (with Homeshake), a gorgeously laidback slice of Latin soul, “Real”, a shape-shifting lament with Mac DeMarco, and “Unity” with Cola Boyy, which recalls Daisy Age hip-hop. There’s a deliberate radio-dial feel to the numerous found-sound clips and demo ditties, but for all their intermittent charms, this feels like a sampler for a more substantial album that might have resulted had fate not intervened.
