The Third Chimpanzee E.P.

by Martin Gore

supported by

Lord Dubious Mr. Gore incorporates his songwriting and synthesizing practices into a satisfying whole with this one. Soaring melodies and strong sense of song structure help elevate this above simple modular synth noodling. I, for one, wouldn't mind hearing this stuff with his lyrics on top in the future. Favorite track: Mandrill.

Stellarr Love the cinematic journey through this EP. A work of depth and breadth, I can listen to often and find emotional, physical and mental satisfaction. Favorite track: Howlers End.

Dr_Tschok Never ever disappoints Favorite track: Capuchin.

seannysideup Grimy, aggressive synths orchestrated into an achingly infectious, beautiful cacophony of melody, rhythm, and sound. Favorite track: Vervet.

about

“The first track I recorded had a sound that wasn’t human,” Martin explains. “It sounded primate-like. I decided to name it ‘Howler’, after a monkey. Then, when it came time to name the EP, I remembered reading the book ‘The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee.’ It all made sense to call it that, as the EP was made by one of the third chimpanzees.”

"The Third Chimpanzee is [Gore's] darkest—and strongest—solo
work yet...refreshingly inspired." - Pitchfork

"...a masterclass in sound design…” - MXDWN

“A release powered by the frequency-dense, dynamic
tones…tracks that seem to weigh a ton.” - Los Angeles Times

I wasn't familiar with Key's work outside Skinny Puppy, and this reminds me a bit of The Greater Wrong of the Right in places. Very atmospheric with some great hooks and melodies that get stuck in my head constantly. Dan Hébert

Industrial is what led me to IDM, and now it’s led me back to industrial. Full circle. It’s a rich deposit of never ending algorithm of sound. Character Arc Theorem

So happy I bought the vinyl, fantastic collection of Cevin's early music. Recommended if you're into Skinny Puppy or if you're a fan of early EBM, industrial or noisey beats! :) jeff
