Tempers - Services

Originally released in 2015 on the cult Berlin imprint Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Services is the debut long-player from New York City duo Tempers. Comprised of Jasmine Golestaneh and Eddie Cooper, the band immediately established a signature sound: a "telepathic kinship" that weaves together industrial rigidity with crystalline, fever-dream vocals. Services isn't just an album; it’s a tonal exploration of tension, yearning, and the mechanical-yet-sensual landscapes of urban life.

Fueled by the underground club hit "Strange Harvest," the record quickly became a landmark of the modern darkwave and synth-pop revival. After its initial release, the vinyl edition ascended to "sought-after collector's item" status, leading to its eventual reissue and the band's signing to the prestigious Dais Records. For fans of Factory Records’ ethos and atmospheric electronica, Services remains the foundational blueprint of Tempers' haunting, multi-disciplined universe.
