Uruguayan indie folk artist Juan Wauters will release their new studio album this June.

Announced today, Wandering Rebel will be released on June 2 via Captured Tracks. The 12-track album features collaborations with Zoe Gotusso, Y La Bamba, Frankie Cosmos, Super Willy K, and John Carroll Kirby. Their song with Gotusso titled "Milanesa Al Pan” is available right now on digital services.

Wauters said this about the song, which has an animated music video directed by Dante Zaballa:

"Milanesa al Pan” was written in Cabo Polonio, Uruguay in December 2020. I had recently left NYC and wanted to do some songwriting. I had access to a place in Cabo Polonio for a few weeks and I thought it would be a great setting to write some music. This town is very remote: behind sand dunes, on the tip of a peninsula into the ocean. There’s no electricity or running water there, so there were no distractions but nature and the place itself. This particular song describes a day in which I was expecting a visit, the following day, from my beloved girlfriend. The planning for the visit and the emotions around the upcoming encounter are described in the song. The energy and the rhythm of the song are uplifting because I felt something magical was about to happen."

Pre-orders for Wandering Rebel, which follows Wauters’ 2021 studio album Real Life Situations, can be made here.
