Keep Shelly in Athens - Silent Rain

Au Palais, Pathos

Empathy Test are back with double A-Side ‘Demons / Seeing Stars’, the first taste of the forthcoming debut album. Since releasing their stunning debut EP, ‘Losing Touch’, the enigmatic duo have impressed with their brooding cinematic electro pop sound; winning both critical acclaim and a legion of dedicated fans worldwide. Their music has seen radio support with KCRW, BBC Introducing and XFM and features with MTV, Clash Music, Earmilk and PopMatters amongst others. Isaac Howlett and Adam Relf formed Empathy Test after discovering a mutual love of eighties sci-fi soundtracks, nineties guitar bands and underground dance music. With echoes of CHVRCHES and Purity Ring, their sound has been described as Future Pop, Dark Wave and numerous other variations along similar themes.

The name Empathy Test is taken from the science fiction film Blade Runner. The duo’s artwork is also sci-fi inspired and follows similar themes to the movie, focusing on the basis of consciousness and the relationship between humans and technology. New track ‘Demons’ deals with the human nature of jealousy and how it can destroy a relationship. It explores how some people unconsciously cultivate jealousy in a partner in order to control them. In this all-consuming infatuation, nothing else matters - “and now she wakes up, every day and she invites, all of my demons to play.” It’s a subject that captures the duo’s strength and goes straight for the jugular.

Empathy Test are renowned for captivating their audiences with their branded mix of analogue synth sounds, uplifting melodies and catchy choruses. Live shows take audiences through driving creative rhythms and eighties pop beats, and new single ‘Demons’ is a live favourite amongst fans. While on tour last year, Empathy Test performed at Wave-Gotik- Treffen Festival in Germany, Urban Forest Festival in the UK and headlined Riba Rocks Festival in Spain. They have shared stages with artists such as Bombay Bicycle Club and The Japanese House. Empathy Test are embarking on another European tour that culminates with a show at London’s The Garage in October 2016. If you haven’t already checked out the electro pop prism of Empathy Test’s world then it’s time to acquaint yourself with this amazing new talent.

EMPATHY TEST DEMONS LYRICS:

All of my dreams have flown away
All of my ambition with the wind 
Now you’re here.

I never thought I would be satisfied
With anything I had
Now I’m not so sure.

I waited so long for you
Now you’re here I don’t know what to do
With you.

I went hunting for love
When I thought I’d lose.
I meant to shoot down a dove
Shot an angel instead.
And now she wakes up every day and she invites
All of my demons to play.

Fade in fade out like a musical
Rhythm and rhyme in time
Our heart beats sing
Just to remind you we’re still alive in here.

I waited so long for you
Now you’re here I don’t know what to do
With you.

I went hunting for love
When I thought I’d lose.
I meant to shoot down a dove
Shot an angel instead.
And now she wakes up every day and she invites
All of my demons to play.

Well I love her, I hate her
I abhor her, I adore her 
Just the same, just the same
Just the same, just the same.
Well I love her, I hate her
I abhor her, I adore her 
Just the same, just the same
Just the same, just the same.

EMPATHY TEST JUST GOT HOME LYRICS

Didn't practice all these hours just to fall apart
Didn't write these lines, to break your heart.
But time goes, slowly by
And still no one here can tell me why...

The fire that we felt, is over now
The colours fade, like the bruise you made.
My mind goes, into overdrive
And still no one here can tell me why...

You made me feel like, there's nothing left.
You made me feel like, giving up.
You made me feel like, there's nothing left.
You made me feel like, like I'd just got home.

Did I say that I was over you well I was wrong.
You say you've moved on, but I'm not that strong.
Time goes, slowly by
And still no one here can tell me why...

You made me feel like, there's nothing left
You made me feel like, giving up.
You made me feel like, there's nothing left
You made me feel like, like I'd just got home.

Just Got Home: Best of 2014-19

Just Got Home

Candy Walls (Sour Remix)

Monsters

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.
