Empathy Test

Empathy Test is an English electronic pop duo known for their lush, cinematic soundscapes and evocative vocal performances that blend the nostalgic tones of 80s synth-pop with a fresh, modern sensibility. Formed in 2013 in London by childhood friends Isaac Howlett (vocals, songwriting) and Adam Relf (production, composition), Empathy Test drew early attention with their debut EP "Losing Touch," which saw a remastered release later in their career. Their music is characterized by its emotive lyrics, haunting melodies, and a deep understanding of both the light and dark sides of human emotion, which is reflected in their evocative song titles.

Over the years, Empathy Test has developed a dedicated following thanks to their compelling live performances and consistent release of quality material. Their body of work, including tracks like "Time to Be Alive," "Monsters," and "Empty Handed," exhibit a commitment to exploring the depths of the human heart against a backdrop of rich electronic textures. With each release, the duo has solidified their position in the electronic music scene, resonating with fans who appreciate their ability to craft deeply personal stories through their art, all the while maintaining an accessibility that invites listeners from all walks of life to find solace and understanding in their music.
