Biobird - EP Review: Tribes
Tribes is the debut EP from Biobird, it is inspired by all things
bass. If my investigative skills are on
form, Biobird is Caleb Bird, based in the Waikato and handy on the mixing desk.
This EP caters to those who love that feeling you get when vibrations from the sound work their way through your body and make your teeth rattle, this album seems to always be just on the edge of an decent base drop. Electronica, Drum & bass mixed with dubstep and chill. There is some nice deep booming bass mixed with a chilled out vibe, however it is not for the fainthearted, but if low slow body throbbing EDM (I am using this as an umbrella term) is your thing then Tribes is definitely worth a listen.
4 tracks ranging between 3 and 4 minutes, so you get a decent amount of music on this EP.
“Good music is music that can be felt physically” - I reckon if you cranked this up on gear which would satisfy any respectable audiophile, then you will feel it in your bones.
Those in the know will make up their own minds about Tribes; there are sub-categories within sub-categories throughout the electronica genre, which I don’t dare try to pretend and sound knowledgeable about, but I do like a bit of bass and have many years of waiting for the beat drop so I recommend this is worthy of a listen.
Tribal drums on steroids. Play it loud, on decent speakers. “Music is not what we do. It’s who we are”.
