Track Of The Day :: Empathy Test - Throwing Stones



We first featured London electro pop duo - Isaac Howlett & Adam Relf - here back at the start of the year with the title track from their 'Losing Touch' EP.

Displaying a catchy twist on the usual electronic synthed sound from the pair - whose name, by the way, comes from Ridley Scott's movie Blade Runner - they now come towards the close of the year with what is their best offering yet.

'Throwing Stones' is the first release since signing to Brooklyn's Stars & Letters Records, and is the title track from their second EP, out on December 9.

Here they take their '80s-inspired synth sound, and give it a completely revitalized and futuristic overhaul, with an impressively cool vocal courtesy of Howlett, augmented with obscured effects, superb hooks, and a sharply structured production.
