We Are Scientists - What You Want Is Gone (Official Music Video)

From the forthcoming album 'Qualifying Miles,' out 18th July 2025. Listen now at https://bfan.link/what-you-want-is-gone-1 Pre-order the album at https://linktr.ee/wearescientists This video was shot (and concurrently edited) between 28 May and 8 June, during which time we played shows in Paris, Utrecht, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Münster, Hamburg, Hanover, and Berlin.

Brooklyn’s beloved indie rock mainstays We Are Scientists are heading out this fall on a North American tour in support of their upcoming ninth studio album Qualifying Miles, out July 18 via Grönland Records. The run begins September 4th in Philadelphia, PA and sees the band traveling over the east coast for seven dates, ending September 13th in Toronto, ON. Check out the full list of dates below.

The upcoming tour will feature songs from Qualifying Miles – a raw and reflective return to the band’s ‘90s guitar rock roots – alongside fan favorites from their beloved catalogue, including Huffy (2021), Lobes (2023), and their gold-certified debut With Love and Squalor, which turns 20 this year. The new record has been teased with a trio of singles that showcase its range: the anthemic and emotionally evasive “Please Don’t Say It,” the shimmering, introspective power ballad “I Could Do Much Worse,” and the newly released “What You Want Is Gone,” a melancholic yet hopeful indie cut paired with a fan-shot tour video. Together, they offer a preview of a record that is both emotionally resonant and unmistakably We Are Scientists: sharp, melodic, and full of heart.

Qualifying Miles is a fierce, contemplative record that sees We Are Scientists exploring themes of memory, loss, and the bittersweet ache of the past – all wrapped in the band’s signature blend of danceable guitar hooks and wry lyricism. It’s a return to the music that shaped them: ’90s guitar rock, played loud and raw, without overthinking.

Qualifying Miles is out July 18 via Grönland Records.
