BIO:
Wants is the brainchild of Jeebs Nabil – a Malaysian born veteran Calgary musician and one of the founding members of retro synth-pop trio Melted Mirror. Initially a growing collection of demos, this synth-pop project took shape over the pandemic in the wake of Melted Mirror’s disbandment.

Previously known for accompanying goth-electro music with delay and chorus laden post-punk guitar lines, Wants sees Jeebs stepping into the role of producer and vocalist on a debut self-titled EP that offers propulsive and sample-driven synth-pop tracks that skirt the line between Synthwave, Darkwave, and even a hint of Techno.

Enlisting help from veteran Calgary musicians Cian Haley and Tom White, Wants delivers a live sound that couples the raw human energy of a band with the moody precision of sequenced 80’s synths and sampled drums. If you’re a fan of dark radioactive synth-pop and neon fallout, Wants is worth a look.
