Isaac Howlett, front person of acclaimed synth-pop outfit Empathy Test, unveils his latest solo single Spiralling - a raw, dance-floor-ready track addressing depression and anxiety from his own lived experience. Collaborating with the enigmatic European music collective A State of Flux, Howlett delivers a compelling blend of accessible hooks and emotional nuance, transcending genre boundaries.

Drawing from diverse electronic influences, Spiralling creates a soundscape that’s both immediate and immersive, pairing dance-floor rhythms with rich, emotionally layered textures. It’s a musical journey into the depths of inner turmoil.

“I’m in the privileged position of being asked to collaborate a lot, but rarely find time. However, when a deliciously dark demo entitled Spiralling landed in my inbox, I was immediately inspired. The lyrics come from something my late grandfather said which stuck with me; “depression runs in the men, on your mother's side”. I felt like a time-bomb waiting to explode.”
– Isaac Howlett

Behind the production, A State of Flux, known for its creative anonymity and fluid collective ethos, crafted a backdrop that marries both clarity and complexity...

“We wanted to create a musical backdrop that, on the surface, seemed immediately accessible, but also delivered on complexity that mirrored Isaac’s personal expression. It was a highly collaborative and fluid process where the track developed over a series of months with everyone contributing musical ideas.”
– Peter 7, A State of Flux

Shrunken Elvis - "K-House"

Divers bruits parasites (le bruit de mon doigt sur un jack, un tournevis et une éponge mouillée dans un circuit d’ampli, des faux contacts en tous genres), un Juno 106, un sample de chant grégorien, des lyrics qui parle de ma lassitude.

This arrangment was something I completed back in July 2017, but with so many other projects piled on each other I left it on the back burner. Anyway, this is another favorite classic Thomas song I decided to share with you all. Hope you guys enjoy!

Where In The World Is Thomas?

It’s a running joke in classical music circles that composers die after completing their ninth symphony. If the album is the pop music equivalent, Brian Hazard of Color Theory beat the odds. But if a recording artist is going to put out a milestone tenth album, it had better be good. 

Though the last two years were prolific, with a dozen single releases, a set of singles does not an album make. “Every great album is, in some sense, a concept album,” Hazard explains. “It tells a cohesive story with a beginning, middle, and end.” So he went back to the drawing board to rethink, rewrite, and rerecord, adding depth and dimension to the songs to create a definitive narrative. 

The result is The Majesty of Our Broken Past, a melancholy synthwave collection that captures the 80s he grew up in: wonderful, even magical at times, yet wistfully desolate.

Don't Stop Me Now

Did a few new pieces for Neil's newest Magic Railroad short. Very very happy with the way this sounds (which is good because the project file is corrupted lol), feel as if I've nailed the TATMRR sound with this one. Hope you all enjoy!

Go check out the short if you haven't seen it yet.

Just a crazy idea I had on Twitter that went viral, so I made an extended version...! Using the same drum samples used in the original Thomas theme, I whipped up this classic video game mashup. Happy listening!
