Early last year we caught sight of Ian Bevis, or Bear Mountain – folk artist turned electronic producer. At that time, he was testing the waters in the electronic genre with his first non-folk single, “Swim.”
Since then, we’ve kept an eye on him as he’s released numerous remixes and singles, building up to his debut EP XOÂ which was released August 7th. The 7 track production includes a mastered version of “Swim” along with some incredible new work that undoubtedly shows his progression. Glimpses of bongos and folky vocals showcase his musical youth, mixed alongside funky synths and electronic beats that together let you experience his production taste and talent as its developed.
