Their anthem ā??Losing Touchā?? has now over 6 Million streams on Spotify with many other follow-up tracks crossing the 7-digit streaming mark. The band has steadily climbed up the ranks of live shows and festivals throughout the last decade. For the first time in band history, EMPATHY TEST will now release their 4 back catalogue albums through traditional retail channels via SPKR Media.
The four albums ā??Losing Touchā?? (2014), ā??Safe From Harmā?? (2017), ā??Monstersā?? (2020) and the 2022 live album ā??Time To Be Aliveā?? will be re-released on CD and vinyl.
Over the past nine years, Empathy Test has evolved from complete obscurity to become one of the best known and loved bands in the European and American alternative electronic music scenes, with dedicated listeners all around the world. Aside from consistently releasing high quality music, Empathy Test has toured as support for the likes of VNV Nation, Covenant, Mesh and Aesthetic Perfection, working their way up through the line-ups of German alternative music festivals like Wave Gotik Treffen, Mera Luna, Amphi, Plage Noire and NCN, before headlining their own tours of Germany, France, and the UK. The band is also planning an extensive North American Tour with 30+ dates in October 2023.
The London duo consisting of childhood friends Isaac Howlett (singer, songwriter) and Adam Relf (composer, producer) has been writing music described by the press as ā??gorgeousā?? and ā??sumptousā?? (Clash Magazine) featuring ā??timelessly melancholy melodiesā?? (Hymn). Entirely on their own, EMPATHY TEST have sold over 4000 vinyls and 6000 CDs through self-distribution only, reaching the maximum. They are now teaming up with professional independent distributor SPKR Media.
The entire back catalogue will be available October 6th, and only a few days before EMPATHY TEST will embark on a +30 dates North American tour." - The last decade has seen the independent British Synthpop duo EMPATHY TEST come out as one of the strongest secret recommendations of the Synthpop world.

On this record, Empathy Test refine their signature blend of lush synthesizer soundscapes, emotive vocals and cinematic atmospheres into a cohesive, modern dark-pop statement. The songs move between fragile introspection and soaring, hook-laden choruses, creating a mood that is both nostalgic and intensely contemporary. "Monsters" explores themes of anxiety, relationships, and inner demons, carried by warm analog synths, driving electronic beats and haunting melodies that linger long after the final track fades. The crystal-clear production and carefully layered arrangements make this CD an immersive listening experience, whether on headphones or a full stereo system.
Empathy Test, formed in London, have built an international following with their emotionally charged synth-pop, drawing comparisons to classic 80s acts while carving out a distinct identity in today's alternative and darkwave scenes. With previous releases and extensive touring across Europe and beyond, the duo have earned a reputation for powerful live performances and a dedicated fan base. Their songs have featured on numerous scene playlists and compilations, and "Monsters" marks a creative high point that consolidates their strengths: memorable songwriting, heartfelt lyrics and a cinematic, melancholic sound that appeals to both synth-pop veterans and new listeners.
