References to radio abound on its 21 tracks, and with good reason – the album spans genres, narrators, languages, and perspectives with the ease of spinning a rotary knob. Mining older songs, phone notes, new material, and snippets from TV and YouTube, Wauters has crafted an aural document of the year through his eyes. Despite the circumstances of its creation, Real Life Situations is not a quarantine record. In many ways it’s the opposite of one, taking togetherness as both its subject and its primary medium. Pre-lockdown collaborations with Mac DeMarco, Peter Sagar (AKA Homeshake), Nick Hakim, Cola Boyy, El David Aguilar, and more playfully offset Wauters’ more pensive solo tracks, and even in its sparest moments the album pulses with life. This is due in part to an impressive array of interludes and samples, most of which are field recordings that Wauters collects on his phone, ranging from the innocuous (“A Peter Pan Donuts Conversation”) to the intense (“Crack Dabbling”). Under his care, these small moments become coordinates for the peaks and valleys of human experience, coloring the album with Wauters’ unique shade of realism. “Some people think I’m an optimist”, he explains, “but I’m not. I’m always seeing all sides of things.” Of course, Wauters himself never disappears in the boisterous crowd he lends his chameleonic songwriting to experiments in hip-hop (“Unity”), lo-fi R&B (“Monsoon”), and deft indie folk (“Lion Dome”). Themes of loneliness, personal growth, patience, and companionship arise again and again; we can feel Wauters navigating a rapidly-changing world in real time. Jubilant choruses and spoken word poetry bleed into city noises and overheard conversations. Real freedom, the album suggests, comes not from gaining control, but from accepting its artifice. Like the programming on a radio station, there’s something here for everyone. All you have to do is listen. “[Wauters] has proved himself to be something of an unrelenting force of joy.” – Esquire “Few artists ever manage to sound like New York City does, but within the cosmopolitan sounds of Juan Wauters’ joyous indie-pop music you can hear how the cities’ different cultures collide.” – FLOOD Magazine Artist Juan Wauters Genre Rock And Pop Label Captured Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings A JPW Headspace 2020 Monsoon (with Homeshake) Sentimiento Queens Locura Ventana Presentation (with Nick Hakim & Benamin) Unity (with Cola Boyy) Real (with Mac DeMarco) Keep Cool Carmina Pensá A Peter Pan Donuts Conversation Lion Dome (with Air Waves) JPW Talking Acordes (with Tall Juan) Bailando Estás Escuchando (with El David Aguilar) Crack Dabbling A JPW Theme Song Yendo Powder NY Weaz Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Alicia Keys The Element Of Freedom R&B | Jive Records | 1LP Released 26th February 2010 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alicia Keys The Element Of Freedom £35.00 Genre: R&B Label: Jive Records SKU: AJAY65711 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Waveform* Last Room Rock And Pop | Run For Cover Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th March 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Waveform* Last Room £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Run For Cover Records SKU: RFC234LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Who, The The Kids Are Alright Rock And Pop | Polydor | 2LP Released 6th March 2020 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Who, The The Kids Are Alright £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 7768744 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jean Claude Vannier L’ Enfant Assasin des Monches Rock And Pop | Finders Keepers | 2LP Released 6th October 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jean Claude Vannier L’ Enfant Assasin des Monches £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Finders Keepers SKU: FKR001LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Taylor Greatest Hits – UltraDisc One-Step Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released 25th December 2023 £175.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders James Taylor Greatest Hits – UltraDisc One-Step £175.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UD1S2-031 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released Date: 25th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Co-Pilot Rotate Rock And Pop | Dell’Orso | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th July 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Co-Pilot Rotate £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dell’Orso SKU: EDDA62LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flaming Lips, The Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th September 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flaming Lips, The Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Records SKU: 0093624857143 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lottery Winners, The Something To Leave The House For Rock And Pop | Modern Sky | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd December 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lottery Winners, The Something To Leave The House For £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Modern Sky SKU: M4738UKLPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barns Courtney 404 Rock And Pop | Virgin EMI | 1LP Released 13th September 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barns Courtney 404 £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin EMI SKU: V3230 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kinks, The Kinda Kinks Rock And Pop | Sanctuary | 1LP Released 9th December 2014 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kinks, The Kinda Kinks £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sanctuary SKU: 5414939639913 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
