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.

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
