Photo By Elizabeth Jaeger Tempers’ sound is about exploring tonal and emotional tension as much as it is about actual tracks or singular moments. Adrenalizing and spellbinding landscapes layer mechanical and sensual impulses, as Jasmine Golestaneh’s crystalline vocals weave fever dreams of yearning and alienation. Golestaneh, joined by long time collaborator Eddie Cooper, make up the NYC duo. Over the years the two have carved out their own niche within indie, electronica and synth-pop circles. Their touchstone debut Services, was released back in 2015 on Berlin based cult imprint, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe. It quickly garnered critical acclaim and resulted in the underground club hit “Strange Harvest”, extensive international touring and sold-out shows worldwide. Services vinyl has been a sought after collector’s item until today. Dais Records is pleased to reissue the essential album on vinyl and CD formats, making it physically available for the first time in years. It’s ready to ship today and will be in stores on January 8, 2021.  Informed by both Golestaneh’s involvement in musical performance and visual art and Cooper’s electronic production resume, as well as their time in the States and abroad, Tempers operate as a multi-disciplined entity in the spirit and ethos of Factory Records. The two describe their creative process as a telepathic kinship they’ve developed since they started making music together: “We have these sort of unspoken criteria when we’re writing music. We never really need to explain what that is but we both know when it’s missing or when we’ve hit it.”  Earlier this year Tempers released their hypnotizing new single “The Use of My Belonging,” which was recorded in their bedrooms across Manhattan during quarantine and the rise of the Black Lives Matter protests. “Watching inequalities intensify to unethical extremes, as systems of power swerve into nightmarish realms of greed, brutality and oppression inspired the song,” explain Golestaneh and Cooper. “The song is about the hope that love will prevail in an era of post-truth, that the return to love is somehow natural and inevitable."

Album Artwork “an insistent thump that's halfway between Factory and Wax Trax!” PITCHFORK “Hell Hotline a slice of achingly melodic, drum-machine-driven guitar-pop that seemed the sum of its own subtly shaded paradoxes: downcast and buoyant, terse and expansive, icy and sentimental.” FADER “…music so resolutely otherworldly; songs like “Strange Harvest” and “Hell Hotline” are heavy on atmosphere—dissonant guitars and murky beats bouyed aloft by Golestaneh’s crystalline vocals.” V MAGAZINE “They're a ticking time bomb at this point, ready to blow up and take the world over at any minute.” VICE Services Track Listing: 01 - Strange Harvest  02 - Undoing 03 - Eyes Wide Wider 04 - Bright Over Me 05 - Summer Is Gone 06 - Hell Hotline 07 - What Isn’t There 08 - Trains 09 - Wheel Of Fortune 10 - Strange Harvest (Acoustic) 11 - Bright Over Me (Acoustic) *Digital Formats Only* More About Tempers: After a string of critically acclaimed singles beginning in 2013, the duo released their debut LP ‘Services’ (2015) on cult imprint Aufnahme + Wiedergabe resulting in the underground club hit “Strange Harvest”, extensive international touring and sold-out shows. Their 2017 EP “Fundamental Fantasy” was released as a result of the Vinyl Factory’s Volcano Extravaganza artist residency on the Aeolian island of Stromboli. Following their unique creative compass, in 2018 they indirectly moved from the dance floor to galleries, releasing “Junkspace” a conceptual collaboration with famed architect Rem Koolhaas. The record is available in the world’s most select cultural hotspots, from The New Museum in New York to Walther Kӧnig museum stores throughout Europe, a testament to Tempers’ love for experimental output and unorthodox presentation. In 2019 Tempers signed with Dais Records and promptly released their acclaimed album ‘Private Life’ - a meticulous evolution of the dark pop that marked the duo’s earlier output.
