Tempers is a New York based project of singer and songwriter Jasmine Golestaneh, melting low-lit poetic synth-pop with hints of techno, shoegaze and post-punk.
Widely influenced by Fleetwood Mac via Kraftwerk to Joy Division and upbringing between London and New York, Tempers evolved quickly into their singular identity on debut album 'Services', including underground dancefloor hit 'Strange Harvest'. The 2017 EP 'Fundamental Fantasy' was released as a result of The Vinyl Factory’s Volcano Extravaganza artist residency on the Aeolian island nof Stromboli. Golestaneh’s interest in the arts led to the 2018 release 'Junkspace feat. Rem Koolhaas' (BMG), a concept album set in a shopping mall, collaborating with the famed architect through samples of interviews deconstructing the architecture of consumerism. 2019's full length 'Private Life' progressed Tempers’ cinematic aesthetic into more introspective landscapes, and featured their most popular track to date, 'Capital Pains'. The second album on Dais Records 'New Meaning’ released in 2022, includes the single ‘Unfamiliar’ and 3D animated video-art for ‘Sightseeing’. The record is accompanied by a book of album inspired hand made collage art by Golestaneh (Moonlight Editions). In 2022 Tempers evolved from a duo setup with producer Eddie Cooper to an enhanced set of collaborations, both live and on recordings, led by Jasmine Golestaneh.
Recent highlights include festivals like Substance LA, Sanctum Chicago, Levitation Austin, Hipnosis Mexico, Synästhesie Berlin, Grauzone The Hague, special events like at the Andy Warhol Museum Pittsburgh and sold out headline shows at Elsewhere Brooklyn, Zebulon LA, Kantine am Berghain Berlin and Moth Club London. Jasmine has just completed her upcoming album with producer Jorge Elbrecht between New York and Los Angeles, with further headline shows and festivals confirmed throughout this year.
