"Their newest single “The Other Days” thrums with that same indescribable magic that makes Sally Shapiro more than your average Italo disco-inspired project. Her dreamy, gossamer voice floats atop a bed of vibrant synths and insistent drum machine, all wistful and bittersweet as she reflects on a love gone sour. We’re ready for more sad floor-fillers from the duo on their new album Ready To Live A Lie" Paste Magazine "best new songs"

"Her melancholy is still just as strong, offset as ever by determined, propulsive production." The Guardian

"“The Other Days”, the lead single from Ready To Live A Lie, is a wash of smeared synths and compulsive electronic movements. Dreamy vocals blend with snappy beats and hypnotic rhythms, fueling a desire to surrender to the music’s gauzy theatrics." BPM Magazine

"Ethereal vocals and dreamy, ambient synths with a tightly adhesive bass arp and drum machine. The Other Days is among my favorite Sally Shapiro cuts." Vehlinggo

The Other Days

I Believe I Can Fly

Sleeping Awake

A sonic journey through neon lights and forgotten ruins: this chill synthwave track takes inspiration from Lara Croft and the retro soundtrack of Tomb Raider 3, blending mystery and nostalgia into a dreamlike soundscape. Lush synths set the stage for exploration and adventure, while Shred Krueger’s electric guitar adds cinematic tension with powerful riffs and soaring solos. Intertwined with it, Federico Amaro’s saxophone brings warmth and melancholy, wrapping the listener in an intimate, atmospheric embrace. The result is a fusion of epic game-inspired energy and timeless synthwave elegance—an odyssey of both discovery and introspection.

Life Pulse

After two #1 singles on the German Alternative Chart (DAC) with "House of Cards" and "Endless Night", Howlett has pushed into darker terrain with Eggshell. Melodically, it has an anthemic, haunting quality, while the beats give it an almost industrial edge. Daniel Myer (Liebknecht, Architect, Covenant etc.) has also left an audible footprint with his production and mixing. 

"Eggshell can be seen as a companion-piece to Empathy Test's Demons", says Howlett, "and inhabits a similar realm, atmospherically. Penned around the same time, it's one of the few songs I've written that's told from someone else's perspective - it's the response of the silent partner in Demons."

If that's not enough to capture the imagination of Empathy Test's legion of loyal fans, the fact that this is perhaps the closest Howlett has come compositionally to Empathy Test, will no doubt cement Howlett's solo work as a viable alternative in the absence of anything new from the aforementioned duo.

Eggshell already has some buzz around it, having been performed live several times by Howlett at his solo shows earlier in 2025, but this September to December he is also performing it, along with the follow-up Ghosts of the Tsunami (releasing on Halloween, 31st October) with Empathy Test on their biggest European tour to date.

At a lengthy, but not unwarranted run-time, of 5+ minutes, the release includes a more concise "radio edit" to appeal to those with shorter attention spans. However, to appreciate the full scale of this epic track, the original version is recommended.
