On an early draft of folk trio Mountain Man s Bandcamp page, the project aptly described itself as “a creature growing from the mouths of Molly Erin Sarlé, Alexandra Sasuer-Monnig, and Amelia Randall Meath.” Sparse and homespun, from the onset the voices of Mountain Man crafted an immediate intimacy. A Mountain Man song exists in a strange and wild and naturalistic world, populated with thick summer air and bright moons and chickadees, unfurling like a long night spent sitting on the back porch steps with your closest friends.
Released in the muggy summer of 2010, Mountain Man s debut full-length Made the Harbor catapulted the project into the spotlight on indie music blogs across the Internet, and then into much bigger stages offline, too. From a MySpace buzz band to touring as back-up singers for Feist across the world, Mountain Man s Made the Harbor and the sound of their three voices tangling together had a certain magic that resonated so easily.
Now, a decade past its release, Made the Harbor celebrates its tenth anniversary with an additional disc s worth of bonus material. The second LP here features unreleased songs, live sessions recorded at Bennington College s Greenwall Auditorium at the inception of the project, along with covers of the Mills Brothers, Arthur Russell, and then-Vermont contemporary toothache, and more. The deluxe packaging includes a collage culled from the band s personal collection and live photos from that time, as well as a personal essay by Wilco s Jeff Tweedy.
