The New York based electronic music duo TEMPERS announced the successful conclusion of contract with Dais Records for the new album named ‘Private Life’. Merging spots of Dark Indie, Electronica and Synth Pop, plus their output of the last three albums, and the new single ‘Capital Pains’ are their new artistic capital, which will shift their spectrum of electronic music into endless dimensions. ‘Capital Pains’ starts the ‘Private Life’ LP with onomatopoeic invocation and a pulsing back beat. ‘Capital Pains’ uses envy and insecurity, which penetrate modern life, as perfect, melancholic basis, that set the tone of ‘Private Life’.Consisting of Jasmine Golestaneh and Eddie Cooper, TEMPERS’ ice-cold Electronica Darkwave mixture is twisted in the shadow of Disco and the glamour of Gothic. ‘Private Life’ is the balanced sequel of TEMPERS’ cinematic aesthetics that deals with atmospheric, introspective landscapes. Release date for ‘Private Life’ is October 25 via Dais Records.
TEMPERS - ‘Capital Pains’ (Official video)
New York based duo TEMPERS, comprised of Jasmine Golestaneh and Eddie Cooper, have been diligently carving out their own unique niche within Dark Indie, Electronica and Synth Pop circles since their formation. After a series of digital singles in 2013, TEMPERS began solidifying their singular identity of rigorous electronic production blended with instinctual, unleashed vocals. Following well received tours in Europe and the United States, TEMPERS saw the release of their debut album entitled ‘Services’, released in Germany via the highly regarded cult imprint Aufnahme + Wiedergabe and quickly became a staple in the Synth Pop / Post Punk scenes in both the States and in Europe. Since the release of ‘Services’, TEMPERS have regularly appeared at a number of international festivals and venues, including Test Pressing Festival and Berghain to name a few, and ambitiously created a concept album entitled ‘Junkspace’ in 2018, in collaboration with famed architect Rem Koolhaas, about the deconstructed banality and overlooked grace of 20th century shopping mall culture.
TEMPERS third full-length album, ‘Private Life’, successfully progresses their cinematic aesthetic into a moodier and more introspective landscape. ‘Private Life’ opens with ‘Capital Pains’, a lonely incantation that echoes the human desire to envy other people’s lives and endlessly chase our own insecurities. Surreal, isolated atmosphere backed by upbeat rhythm and melancholy refrain projected from ‘Capital Pains’ perfectly set the tone expectation for ‘Private Life’. ‘Peace Of Mind’ crawls along as a dramatic dirge with Golestaneh imparting matters of loneliness and solitude, always looking from the outside and complemented with Cooper’s haunting resonance.
The character behind songs such as ‘Sleep’ and ‘Push/Pull’ break from TEMPERS signature synth-laden Post Punk notoriety, instead switching to a more somber songwriting style that settles down between down-tempo Dream Pop and despondent soundtracks. Behind the backdrop of driving electronics and magnetic verse, ‘Private Life’ deconstructs and reimagines the ideas behind despair, love, loneliness, and hope. While most people would simply reflect on nostalgia, TEMPERS stands alone in their unique methods, fictionalizing their ideas through sound and vision to create soundtracks for everyday affliction.
