Non-Bio – Vermin (EP – Non-Bio)
Genre/Influences: Industrial, Experimental, Electronic.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: London (UK) based Howard Gardner strikes back with four new songs driven by alienation and lack of hope in our daily life.
Content: Non-Bio remains driven by harsh and atypical Electro-Industrial music. The work sounds like a collage of multiple noises and effects plus vocals on top. Globally speaking “Vermin” is driven by slower rhythms than previous productions but it remains an overwhelming piece of music.
+ + + : Non-Bio remains hard to define but definitely Industrial-like. I think it’s cool Howard Gardner doesn’t repeat himself but tries to explore new sonic paths driven by Industrial music. I especially recommend listening to “Center Negative” which has an explicit Minimalistic touch on top.
– – – : The experimental side of the production will be never my favorite one but it’s part of this project.
Conclusion: This is not exactly the work I’ll recommend to discover Non-Bio although it remains a creative Industrial music experience.
Best songs: “Center Negative”, “Clarity”, “Vermin”.
Rate: 7.
