SUMMARY:The Wants
LOCATION:The Social
DESCRIPTION:The Wants is the New York City band founded in 2017 by songwrit
 er\, guitarist\, and producer Madison Velding-VanDam alongside drummer Jas
 on Gates. The group operates as an adversarial network of ideas - grounded
  songwriting playfully colliding with unstable rhythms\, mutated electroni
 cs\, and live instrumentation. After signing with London-based Council Rec
 ords\, The Wants released their debut album\, Container (2020)\, named aft
 er their shipping-container-turned-rehearsal space in a Brooklyn parking l
 ot. The album's anxious songwriting\, hypnotic interlocking rhythms\, and 
 aggressive live show drew acclaim from outlets like NME\, Brooklyn Vegan a
 nd The Line of Best Fit before its touring cycle was cut short by the glob
 al shutdown of March 2020. That interruption opened a five-year period of 
 experimentation. Written by Velding-VanDam\, Gates and synthesist Yasmeen 
 Night\, and recorded by Peter Katis\, Bastard (2025) pushes Container's ph
 ysical-electronic tension into something darker and more acerbic. Widely c
 ommended as beguiling and enigmatic\, the record was followed up by remixe
 s from Factory Floor\, Broken English Club and Gorgonn. During this time\,
  Velding-VanDam also founded STTT\, a record label committed to creative f
 riction\, experimentation and independence. STTT supports a growing intern
 ational roster of artists including Content Blocks and Sin Clair.\n\nBolet
