Album Review: Juan Wauters - Who Me?

"A rustic nostalgia montage."

The laissez-faire braggadocio of Juan Wauters has been both energising and enervating — somehow providing rollicking songs and albums that don’t last in the memory for long.

Wauters continues to wade in these waters on this second solo record, going into a rustic nostalgia montage, taking the paisley pop fringes of The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel lore and injecting Jonathan Richman daydreams and anecdotal whimsy. This Is I, I’m All Wrong and I Was Well indicates Wauters’ tempered wellspring of introspection, and it’s all a lot of fun, if fleeting and lightweight.
