New York duo share new 5-track EP, featuring a remix by French producer Joakim.

Recorded on the volcanic island of Stromboli, Tempers’ left their comfort zone on Fundamental Fantasy, crafting a brooding synth-wave sound that’s equal parts dream pop and neo-noir ’80s soundtrack.

Laced in desire and destruction, the pair say it’s a “about fantasy lives swelling out of proportion, and the failure of society’s romantic conventions to fulfill our spiritual longing for love.”

Last month, Tempers released the VF-produced video for lead single ‘Further’ on the sun-soaked island of Stromboli, a track they say “is about the masochism of wanting what you can’t have.”
