Empathy Test

Empathy Test are a London electronic pop duo, the singer and lyricist Isaac Howlett and the producer Adam Relf, formed in January 2013 and named after the Voight-Kampff test in Blade Runner. After two EPs in 2014, Losing Touch and Throwing Stones, they released two debut albums on the same day in November 2017, Losing Touch and Safe From Harm, followed by Monsters in 2020. No new record has followed; Howlett has released solo singles and still performs as Empathy Test.

Empathy Test “Throwing Stones”

The London duo's first single for Stars & Letters: a slow-burning synthpop song about stones at a window, which its singer later said came closer to the plan.
