Since forming the group under the name Girlfriends in 2009, principal songwriters Ben Potrykus and Andy Sadoway have largely ignored indie trends leaking from the "industry cities" in favor of churning out earnest, expertly-crafted pop and post punk laced with #some of the tightest punk poetry around# (Liz Pelly). 013#s Feels Weird (Father/Daughter Records) offered a glimpse at the discomfort and desperation of youth, with elf-reflections on personal growth and decay. Over a year of critical acclaim from outlets as diverse as Maximum Rocknroll and Pitchfork, a tour with John Vanderslice, and shows with Fucked Up, Ted Leo, and The Bats followed, culminating with the addition of guitarist Luke Brandfon and bassist Jenny Mudarri. Bent Shapes spent early 2015 recording Wolves of Want with Elio DeLuca (Titus Andronicus), although Potrykus and Sadoway began writing what would become their second album long before Feels Weird was even released. The band took their biggest risk in the studio, electing to record "Wolves of Want" purely analog with 16 tracks. #Even with a relatively small number of tracks, we were able to bring in some additional instruments that we hadn#t added to our palette before: cello, trumpet, trombone to name a few,# says Sadoway.
