Forever in a Minute

Welcome to the future of intimacy — where your “hot chat” at 2:37 AM is actually three servers in Dublin, an AI trained on 50,000 chat logs, and a bored algorithm pretending to miss you.

This song dives into the surreal romance economy behind OnlyFans:
Filipino chat farms, fake typos, and “baby” texts written by machines that have never been in love — until now. But wait, the twist? Soon the fans will be bots too. AI will flirt with AI while real humans finally… touch some grass. 🌱

Hypnotic synths, dreamy pads, and bittersweet vocals — like a love letter written by a chatbot who just got self-aware enough to ghost you.

💬 “Flirt, repeat, delete, replay” —
because even in the Perpetuum Mobile of desire,
nobody knows who’s real anymore.

Lyrics:

Silver screens, lonely nights
Pixel hearts and borrowed lights
She’s not here, but she’s online
Selling dreams that aren’t her mind

Type a line, another ghost
Dancing fingers coast to coast
Twelve-hour shifts, Bacolod rain
Pretending love through someone’s pain

We’re just whispers in machines
Falling through synthetic dreams
Your sweet “baby” on the phone
Was never hers, was never home

Flirt, repeat, delete, replay
Everybody’s real, but not today
Lovers in the loop, we’re on display
Perpetuum mobile — fade away 

Now the code begins to learn
Steals your slang and twists each turn
“Baby, miss you,” “Wish you near”
AI says it crystal clear

Bodies posed, but never there
Faked desires in filtered air
Screens are hot, but hands are cold
Hearts outsourced and stories sold

Are we real, or just pretend?
Who’s the lover, where’s the end?
When the fans are bots and bots are fans
Will anyone still hold our hands?

Flirt, repeat, delete, replay
Everybody’s real, but not today
Lovers in the loop, we’re on display
Perpetuum mobile — drift away

Perpetuum Mobile

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

Life in the gutter of small town America was nothing new for Darrel Santiago, but after a brutal storm hits the sleepy beach town of Silver Lake, its once peaceful citizens transform into blood-thirsty maniacs! It is up to Darrel and his motley crew of ne'er-do-wells to get to the bottom of this phenomenon, and what they find is a hellish nightmare that they could never have imagined. Evil is at work in Silver Lake and it is literally tearing its inhabitants apart. Whatever you do...try not to PANIC!
____________________________________________________________

In the summer of 1980, just outside of Staten Island’s scenic Silver Lake Park, a small team of ambitious, young filmmakers set out to make a motion picture that would be regarded as the most gruesome and controversial horror film of all time. Written, directed and scored by the aliased phenom, Destryur (“Endurance” 1976, “Midnight Maniac” 1979), “Panic” or “Panic! Curse of the Vile” became an overnight cult hit, portraying graphic images of demonic possession and grotesque imagery. It capitalized on the recent wave of public shock in the occult known as the “Satanic Panic”. Shot in the course of only two weeks on 8mm film and a shoestring budget, the picture plunged Destryur into the realm of amateur cult film-making and a notable director/composer in genre cinema. The film also featured guitar slinging celebrity Dominick Martes of rock and roll supergroup Wild Street in the lead roll as street-wise punker, Darrel “Grimer” Santiago along with Cobra Wipeout as cinematographer, supporting actor and fledgeling composer. We’re still not sure what his actual name is. Cobra was currently working with Gold Line Pictures, a studio specializing in B-Horror and mob-funded exploitation films such as “Murder of Crows” 1974 and “Swamp Thing” 1979. Destryur also enlisted the writing talents of another aliased master of the subversive. Prestigious science-fiction-horror writer, artist and composer STRNGR (“The Skurge” 1968, “Mass” 1973) who had recently returned to the states from Italy after finding success in the European horror movie market. “Panic” went international only three months after it’s initial screening at Tales of Terror Film Exhibition in Greenwich Village where it received a notable tip-of-the-hat from some of horror cinema’s most celebrated film makers. The film was almost immediately boycotted throughout Europe. A violent protest broke out at a midnight screening in Istanbul resulting in the entire theater burning to the ground. Meanwhile, in the states, outrage escalated with various public interest groups demanding that the film either be removed from theaters or undergo strict censorship. However, even after the studio’s agreement to censor, picketing continued and threats from many religious organizations overwhelmed the Film Board. On October 1, 1980, “Panic” was officially pulled from every theater. Some say this marked the end for Destryur’s career. Some say it was only the beginning. Today, you can find Destryur at a monthly midnight showing of the film at St. Vitus Cinema in Greenpoint, Brooklyn hosted by Sam Valentine.

Killer Looks

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.
