tempers are a nyc not-goth duo of jasmine golestaneh and eddie cooper. fortunately not-goth sounds like cold wave with a bit of synthpop. singer jasmine vocals switch from low and smoky to exploding rock ballad mode at the change of a verse. the music is surprisingly upbeat, imagine happy joy division with more synths. nothing dominates, but it all comes together, particularly the synth poppier songs to just make you want to move to the music. limited edition of 999 copies, w/ exclusive cd only track 'killing for company' (swans cover)
