1.	Throwing Stones 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Flicking through yesterday’s news Slipping my neck into the noose again Well it fits so well. Doesn't know where her loyalties lie - Then again neither do I. Going out getting drunk on gin Waking up in her arms but then I Never knew it would be so hard Never knew I would be a part of this Bitterness. I try to fall awake but I still sleep Wait for a week but I am weak And resolutions fail And once again I'm throwing stones At your window. Throwing stones At your window. Stand in the payphone count to ten But you won’t call me back again. Sends a little shiver right through me When I hear you running down to me. But I know you’ll only turn away ‘Cause you've got nothing left to say to me Well; hear me out. I try to fall awake but I still sleep Wait for a week but I am weak. And resolutions fail And once again I'm throwing stones At your window. Throwing stones At your window. Throwing stones At your window. Throwing Stones At your window.
2.	Here Is The Place 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Drive me slow, down the road Sound the horn on every bend. Bow your heads, respect the dead For he had many, many friends. Now follow the road, through the tunnel of trees To the big, wide open field. And take a left, up the muddy track To the house where I grew up... And here is the place, when I die, I want you to bury me Beneath this old, willow tree Enough of an epitaph for me. And here is the place, when I die, I want you to bury me These friendly roots will hold my bones And I will never be alone. Stop the car, on the track Stoop to kiss me - I can't kiss you back Shed no tears, for all the years You've made up for what I lacked. And heave me up, to head height On the shoulders of my friends. And lay me down, on the lawn When all the curtains have been drawn... And here is the place, when I die, I want you to bury me Beneath this old, willow tree Enough of an epitaph for me And here is the place, when I die, I want you to bury me These friendly roots will hold my bones And I will never be alone.
3.	Holding On 04:09	lyrics	buy track
The moment that you wake from your disguise They record you with their eyes. No matter how, long or hard they try You know they won’t shake it You know they won’t shake it. Reaching for the seam that holds you in To find where you begin. Frozen in the pose they've chalked us in You know we can’t break it You know we can’t break this. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. The shutter clicks and we’re immortalised Flashbulb our goodbyes. No matter how, long or hard you try You know you can’t fake it You know you can’t fake this. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you.
4.	Hope For Me 03:25	lyrics	buy track
I know how you want things to be And I know how far, away we are And I know that you need someone Who worships you. But I think that you know by now That’s not, what I do, or who I am. Let’s not try to change each other We are, who we are. And every time you hope for me This is what you get from me. Every time you hope for me This is what you get from me. I know how you want me to be And I know how far, away I am And I know that you need someone Who cares, for you. But I think that we know by now That when, I’m up, you're always down. How can we be together But still, feel alone. And every time you hope for me This is what you get from me. Every time you hope for me This is what you get from me.

about

Since Empathy Test's conception in January 2013, the unsigned London electronic pop duo has released two stunning, four-track EPs: Losing Touch (Feb. 2014) and Throwing Stones (Dec. 2014), which have won them both critical acclaim and a legion of dedicated fans worldwide. Their music has been featured by the likes of MTV's Catfish, XFM, KCRW, BBC Introducing, Clash, Idolator, Earmilk, PopMatters and many more.

In 2015, Empathy Test booked and co-headlined their own UK tour, performed to an audience of 1,000+ at Wave-Gotik-Treffen Festival in Germany, headlined Riba Rocks Festival in Spain and shared stages with everyone from Bombay Bicycle Club to The Japanese House.

In 2016, Empathy Test released a new double a-side single Demons | Seeing Stars and joined Bristol Synth Pop legends Mesh on a two week tour of Europe. They are currently planning a second single plus further tours and festival performances in 2017. Catch them at Planet Myer Day (Leipzig, 13/1/17), Electronic Winter (Gothenburg 28/1/17) and Amphi (Cologne, 22/7/17).
