Quotes

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.[1]Martin Gore - martingore.com - November 2020
