The Wants’ debut full length Container is a meticulously self-produced art-pop record, combining elements of post-punk, synth-pop, and minimal techno. Opener 'Ramp' is as pensive as they come, title track 'Container' a deadpan meditation bound by a winding low pulse, while - atop a synth-pop rhythm track that wouldn’t feel out of place on a Depeche Mode record - Velding-VanDam’s earnest and deceptively disarming lyrics on recent single 'Fear My Society' tell the story of a man who realizes that the standards he lives by are no longer relevant. He feels alienated by the changing world and propagates the fears, principles, and rituals in which he feels he has irreversibly invested his life.
