preciousken Another phoenix rises with a new sound and pallet. Isaac Howlett of the atmospheric darksynth band Empathy Test releases his first solo venture. Without a live drummer this single stays light on it's toes. It sparkles and spins on a fantastical dancefloor. Isaac's always beautiful voice glows warmer and wider. I feel a real "Power, Corruption, and Lies" tone in the music. I think Isaac's vocal talent elevates the original concept in many ways. Excited to see where this new feel takes us next.

dajana.fotodesign Ein tanzbarer Ohrwurm, welcher mich bereits live in Leipzig Januar 2023 überzeugt hat. Schön, dass die Single nun bald überall zu hören sein wird. Sehr gern gekauft - in der großen Freude "House of Cards" auf der "Empathy Test - 10th anniversary Tour" erneut live zu erleben. Thank you Isaac, Producer Walter Kazmier
and the Mastered by Mike Piacentini for this wonderful song!

When you close your eyes When you say good night Who do you dream of, and Who are you hiding from When we compromised I slowly died inside When you twist the knife When you make me cry All of my words are now Already spoken All of my dreams are lying Shattered and broken I was dying to breathe In your house of cards I was dying to leave In your house of cards Does it satisfy Knowing you've denied All that I dreamed of and All that I couldn't have When we compromised I slowly died inside When you twist the knife When you make me cry All of my words are now Already spoken. All of my dreams are lying Shattered and broken I was dying to breathe In your house of cards I was dying to leave In your house of cards In your house of cards In your house of cards I hear the trees, they're Calling my name I feel the wind And the rain on my skin It's a medicine for my soul All of my words are now Already spoken All of my dreams are lying Shattered and broken I was dying to breathe In your house of cards I was dying to leave In your house of cards In your house of cards In your house of cards I was dying to breathe In your house of cards I was dying to leave In your house of cards Run out of the darkness Into the light Run out of the darkness Into the light

about

"House of Cards" is the stunning debut solo single from Isaac Howlett, best known as the singer and songwriter behind the internationally renowned British synth-pop band, EmpathyTest.

While not a million miles from the dark, emotional, and cinematic tones we've grown to expect from Empathy Test over the years, "House of Cards" finds Isaac's poignant and arresting vocals bolstered by the energy of a punchy uptempo beat and angular synth-bass groove.

With lyrics confronting the brutal reality but eventual relief of escaping a toxic relationship, the first taste of Isaac Howlett's solo material will have you dancing with tears in your eyes.

"House of Cards" releases everywhere digitally on 28th February 2024. Preorder begins 14th February.
