Depeche Mode's Martin Gore shares "Howler" track from upcoming instrumental EP
Martin Gore of Depeche Mode has returned with new song "Howler", the opening track from his forthcoming instrumental EP The Third Chimpanzee.
"Howler" is the opening track from The Third Chimpanzee, and follows last year's lead single "Mandrill".
Gore says of the new release, ""Howler" was the first track I recorded for The Third Chimpanzee EP. I resynthesized some vocals that almost sounded human, but not quite. That’s why I decided to name the track after a monkey. I thought that would be a good theme to carry on with the rest of the tracks."
Gore said of his new EP last year, "The first track I recorded had a sound that wasn’t human, 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."
