nine months on from ‘mcmx. downing street’, ‘III. TERRA INCOGNITA’ is the fourth single to be released by BRAIN APE leading up to the release of their third studio album ‘SHREWD, BRITANNIA’. it was released on april 12th, 2025
the song’s lyrics tackle act three of eric tunglsson’s story: finding himself further and further isolated from his family, will he make the right choice when given the chance?
unconventional in structure, the song retains a lot of what have become hallmarks of BRAIN APE’s sound: unforgiving vocals, experimental guitar parts, and very present bass tones. the song’s backbeat also contains a sample of THE KID AND I’s song ‘COMING UNDONE’
directed and produced by BRAIN APE, ‘III. TERRA INCOGNITA’’s music video features minky très-vain as protagonist eric tunglsson and sol alex albret as wyn pfaird
