Product Description
Mountain Man is a group of three young women -- Amelia Meath, Molly Sarle, and Alex Sauser-Monnig -- who sing with or without Alex's guitar. It is incredible what they are able to do with their voices -- they have huge ranges, great precision, and a frighteningly smooth blend.

It's impossible to pinpoint what they are doing, each song is like this beautiful lattice sphere. They weave in and out of eachother -- only the most careful inspection will reveal that they often switch their positions multiple times in one phrase. And although their songwriting is influenced by the comfortable history of American folk, there is something very vibrant and new about the compositions.

There's a fragile balance between the three very different styles and personalities in these three young women. They are all songwriters, and having all three approaches with the same treatment on the same album is really satisfying. There is Alex's guitar based songs, with deep, slow moving roots. Amelia, writing for voices alone, creates rising complicated lattice structures. Molly also writes for guitar, but with space for more weight, drama, and tension.
