Empathy Test's 'Monsters' follows the "shimmering synths and glacial electronics" (Clash) of 'Holy Rivers' and the "dark, anthemic electro-pop" (Fresh on the Net) of 'Empty Handed' as the final single to be released from the forthcoming third album of the same name (May 2020). Far from being 'business as usual', 'Monsters' presents enough of a departure for the London-based Synth Pop band, renowned across Europe and beyond, for their "soft synth" sound, to raise a few eyebrows amongst the loyal fanbase the band has been quietly building since 2014.

'Monsters' incorporates the live acoustic beats of drummer Christina Lopez for the first time, along with an epic synthesised hook dreamt up by new keyboard player Oliver Marson. Channeling the incessant driving energy and 'coming home at 6am' paranoia of Placebo's 'Pure Morning', Empathy Test's 'Monsters' is like nothing the band has done before. Frontman Isaac Howlett's androgynous vocal sits lower in the mix than on previous offerings, helping to give 'Monsters' a weight and energy like never before. Non-performing founder member Adam Relf's production has also reached new heights of excellence, his subtle flourishes helping to raise the euphoria to fever pitch.

While the self-releasing, self-managed Empathy Test has remained criminally overlooked by the UK music scene despite appearing in shows on MTV and Netflix, radio play from Amazing Radio, Radio X and BBC Introducing, as well as press coverage from Clash, Line of Best Fit and many more, 'Monsters' may just have the power to propel the band into the limelight. Arriving with an equally intense video, directed by the award-winning Calum Macdiarmid (bit.ly/MNSTRS-VID), 'Monsters' releases digitally via all major streaming services on Friday 24th March. The album is slated for a full digital and physical release on 22nd May and can be preordered via the crowd funder on Indiegogo: bit.ly/ET-MNSTRS or on Bandcamp: bit.ly/MNSTRS-BC

LYRICS

When all's been said and done
And another day's begun.
When the lines go on and on
And all you've got is gone.
You've doused yourself in sin
And the daylight's creeping in.
When the shadows start to grow - oh!
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go.


When all's been said and done
No distance left to run.
When the emptiness arrives
And there's nowhere left to hide.
When it's stacking up inside
From the corners of your mind.
When the teardrops start to flow - oh!
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go


Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters 
Baby I've got the monsters 
Baby I've got the monsters 
Again.
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters 
Baby I've got the monsters 
Again.


Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go


Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters 
Baby I've got the monsters 
Baby I've got the monsters 
Again.
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters 
Baby I've got the monsters 
Again.


They're creeping up
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
