I tripped over Bear Mountain’s music last week while letting SoundCloud suggested tracks play in the background of a busy work day. Suddenly I found myself bobbing my head to the infectious rhythm of “Congo” and half-ass singing along without knowing any of the lyrics. I immediately investigated and found it a product of the Vancouver trio of electronic blenders Bear Mountain. Soon I was in love with their instrumental album (XO) opener “Two Step” and everything else on their SoundCloud page. Moral of the story? This band is good, and go get a SoundCloud account.
