Martin Gore video for ‘Howler’ available – new EP out tomorrow
(Photo by Travis Shinn) Martin Gore, songwriter and founding member of Depeche Mode, has released the video for his new solotrack, “Howler”. The video was directed by NYSU (Bastille, New Order, Wild Beasts). The track is taken from the forthcoming 5-track instrumental EP, “The Third Chimpanzee”, out tomorrow.
“I resynthesized my voice and used warped delays and other manipulation effects on ‘Howler,’” Martin says of the track. “The end result was a sound that wasn’t quite human, more monkey like. I really liked the idea of blurring the lines between monkeys and humans. Sometimes I think we just feel that we’re so evolved, and that we’re so much better. I have been questioning that quite a lot recently.”
It’s been five years since Martin released his instrumental album “MG”.
Here’s the video for “Howler”.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
