The wait is finally over, N.A.P. North American Poetry, the debut solo album from Juan Wauters, is out today. 

Comprised of 12 tracks that are simultaneously introspective and outward looking, N.A.P. showcases this idiosyncratic musician's ability to craft infectious musical poetry with delightfully earnest relatabilty. From the gentle, rolling rhythm of first single "Water", to the sunny cadence of "Escucho Mucho", Wauters' has delivered an album that moves with effortless momentum, echoing times past, while looking to the future. It's music to start your year off right. Buy via Captured Tracks webstore

On February 16th at Baby's All Right Wauters will celebrate the release of the record with friends Households and La Rosas. Purchase tickets HERE.

Looking forward to the Spring, he will head to Austin for SXSW and then join label mate Mac DeMarco for a string of dates in April. Those dates are below. 

 
"sweet folk tunes and an exposed voice."
WNYC

"folk-oriented sound closer to Daniel Johnston or Syd Barrett than the Troggs"
Pitchfork

"solo material hews more acoustic and bare, showcasing his warm voice and knack for, yes, poetry that feels beamed in from a halcyon era."
Spin

"beautiful acoustic melodies and a vintage, retro feel that is reminiscent of a Latin American Cat Stevens or Rodriguez"
Impose


"full of perky melodies and lo-fi drum cracks"

Pre-Order HERE
In 2000, Alberto Wauters left Uruguay to live in a basement in Queens. Two years later he called his son, Juan, to join him. Juan Wauters crossed the threshold into manhood when he arrived in New York. Working at a factory, the father and son pooled their money to bring their family to the borough of opportunity. With no friends to speak of, Juan turned to music to take control of the loneliness of his isolation. Juan was inspired by his new neighborhood of Jackson Heights and delighted to find that his library card gave him access to an abundance of new music.
 
In his debut solo record, N.A.P. North-American Poetry, Wauters dreams big; coming into his own as a singer. Building on his songwriting, popularized by The Beets, Juan presents introspective tracks, like "Water" and "Sanity", and reflections on humans' relationship with technology in songs like Breathing—which features Carmelle Safdie. The record is completed, as always, by the artwork of dear friend and longtime collaborator Matthew Volz, who has honed the trademark visual aesthetic of Juan's music. This album is a selection of recordings made between the fall of 2010 and the summer of 2012 at Marlborough Farms. N.A.P. delivers a fresh sound and lyrical candor from one of Queens' most idiosyncratic adoptive sons.
 
Live, Juan shares the stage with a revolving cast of international musicians of the highest caliber: vocalist Carmelle Safdie (Israel), multi-instrumentalist Tall Juan Zaballa (Argentina), percussionist Chie Mori (Japan), and flutist Amanda Rodi (Mexico). Matthew Volz heightens this lively and mood-altering experience with his painted banners, personal objects and manually manipulated light show. The ensemble is not to be missed.
