Speaking about the track, Tempers’ vocalist Jasmine Golestaneh reveals, “’Unfamiliar’ explores the idea of progress, and what qualities might be needed to actualise it. So often change is just a rebranding of the same structures and conventions, history repeating itself. But also on a personal level, it’s hard not to repeat mistakes, habits are so seductive. I was thinking about the power of liminal space, and how building a tolerance to unfamiliarity might be a revolutionary act.”
The band self-produced the album and cover photo isLost Hotel (2016) by Beijing-based photography artist Chen Wei.
The album has a companion book of original artwork and lyrics. Golestaneh created a hand made collage for each song, translating it’s sonic landscapes and lyrical themes into concrete images. The book is published by Old Habits Press.
