After Black Midi and Straw Man Army, more powerful new post-punk with rippling guitar work and a moral outrage against violence, here by the Swedish band from their forthcoming album Cave World, out on July 8 via YEAR0001. Frontman Sebastian Murphy says of the track: “People look down at apes as primitive life forms, but we’re just this horrible, lazy society killing each other and starting wars, while they’re able to love and feel. Does that make them the true ape or us?”

He goes to work on his computer
He thinks about his gun at home
One day he's gonna be a shooter
He's gonna bring his gun to work
He thinks about the ones who wronged him
And the punishments they'll face
But things they would play out much different
Back in the time when we were apes
When everybody was a monkey
We had to fight just to survive
And now you got yourself a weapon
You think you choose who lives and dies
But when we had hairy arms and legs
And you were still swimming round in a lake
Yeah, you were still a troglodyte
You just evolved a bit too late
You ain't no ape
You're a troglodyte
You ain't no ape
You're a troglodyte
He says he don't believe in science
He thinks that all the news is fake
And late at night he sits on his computer
And writes about the things he hates
But if it was a million years ago
And we were still living in caves
You would not be welcomed by the other apes
'Coz you evolved a bit too late
You ain't no ape
You're a troglodyte
You ain't no ape
You're a troglodyte
