Tempers

Tempers is the music project of New York-based singer-songwriter Jasmine Golestaneh, who blends emotionally resonant lyrics and an eclectic palette of electronic sounds into low-lit poetic synth-pop, with hints of techno, shoegaze and post-punk.

Tempers’ 2015 debut album, Services, included the underground dancefloor hit “Strange Harvest”. In 2019, Tempers released the LP Private Life, which introduced a more introspective sound, followed by New Meaning in 2022, which was accompanied by a book of Golestaneh’s original collage art inspired by the record. Tempers’ art world leanings have led to unique collaborations including performances in museums, galleries and off-spaces, an EP (2017’s Fundamental Fantasy) stemming from an artist residency with The Vinyl Factory, and the 2018 release of Junkspace feat. Rem Koolhaas – a concept album in partnership with the famous architect which incorporated samples of interviews deconstructing the architecture of consumerism.

Founded alongside producer Eddie Cooper, in 2023 Golestaneh took full creative leadership of Tempers. The latest album Delusion, co-produced by Golestaneh and Jorge Elbrecht, featuring collaborations with visual artists Camille Henrot, Estelle Hoy and Sandra Mujinga, has now been released on Golestaneh’s own new label fear of luxury, distributed by Cascine/Secretly.
