Tempers’ forthcoming album New Meaning (DAIS) is distinctly nocturnal music, elegantly introspective and quietly intense. Their new single “Nightwalking” is ice pop perfection. Jasmine Golestaneh’s voice is both ethereal and towering as Eddie Cooper breathes life into the precision of electronics, and of melodic intervals. 

“I took a lot of long walks at a time when people had abruptly vacated NYC, and left the remnants of their homes on the sidewalks,” tells Golestaneh. “The city’s landscape became very surreal – a ghost town turned inside out. I was thinking about how to stay open, and embrace life derailed. The sky over the city was a real source of mystery, in it’s own world of pink sunsets, and sparkling nights. The contrast of that oblivious beauty amidst the pandemic chaos felt very special, and inspired the song.”

With their self-produced New Meaning, Tempers present an album about navigating the unknown, coping mechanisms, and exploring the nature of choice. Its ten songs reflect on the creation of meaning as access to liberation in times of transition and loss, speculating on the transformative potential that exists alongside the grief of living in a world that is in an ongoing state of crisis.

New Meaning sees its release on April 1 – pre-order here. The duo plan to tour North America this spring ahead of a UK/EU summer run. Highlights include SXSW, LA, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, and more. See below for a full list of dates.
