Empathy Test is an independent modern synthpop band formed in in London, UK, by childhood friends Isaac Howlett (vocals/songwriting) and Adam Relf (production/composition). The pair captivated listeners around the world with their bedroom-produced, self-released debut track, Losing Touch.

Since then, Empathy Test has released three stunning albums: Losing Touch (Remastered) and Safe From Harm in 2017 and Monsters in 2020. Their big, dramatic sound swoons ecstatically between the nostalgic and immediate, earning them comparisons with classic acts such as Depeche Mode and A Flock of Seagulls, as well as modern synth-pop acts like CHVRCHES, Purity Ring and Hurts.

Despite being offered more than their fair share of record deals, Empathy Test has chosen to make their own path, building their own dedicated fanbase, which now includes legendary electronic musician Midge Ure, Spanish actress Ester Exposito, Saffron Sprackling of Republica, and Culture Club's Boy George, who described them as “a musical orgasm” via his official Twitter account.

Empathy Test performs live with the help of David Leisser (drums) and Nadine Green (synthesiser).
