What to expect
The Wants are singer and guitarist Madison Velding-VanDam, drummer Jason Gates, singer and synth player Lydia Gammill, and bassist Heather Elle.
Their music blends danceable grooves, anxious energy, and emotional yet enigmatic lyrics, placing them between genres.
They use deceptively simple parts that interlock like techno percussion, with recordings that engage club sound-system clarity, vinyl warmth, and familiar pop forms.
