Comments: Badu is the sophomore LP from Vancouver quartet Bear Mountain. Per the promoter, their 2012 debut XO "was critically hailed for its spanning spontaneity, with its fusion of jazz, orchestral pop, and house that made for abstract and infectious instrumentations with felt both nostalgic and contemporary." Exclaim has praised the band for its "... live-band approach to electronic disco-pop, as warm keyboard pads envelop the organic rhythms and jabbing synth hooks, while singer-bassist Ian Bevis delivers the melodies in his signature, quavering vibrato."
