Mountain Man announce release date for debut LP Made the Harbor; tour non-mountainous areas

You’re well-versed enough these days that you know not to expect much truth from a name. Little Girls share nary a female part among them; same with Women, Girls, and any number of distaff-named bands without a corresponding soprano. In keeping with this fad for erroneous appellation, Mountain Man consist not so much of one woodsy, Jedediah Smith-type, but a lineup more along the lines of a mountain man’s three daughters.

Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Amelia Randall Meath are not sisters, but their harmonies evoke the image of a trio of beautiful, homespun girls in gingham, singing to the open frontier from a dusty front porch — even when they play on a street in New York (video). Made the Harbor, Mountain Man’s debut full-length, is slated for release July 20 on Partisan Records, the same day as a 10-inch release (Sun Dog) from Underwater Peoples.

Before then, however, Mountain Man are leaving their home of Vermont to tour Europe and then the U.S. with Bear in Heaven and Twin Sister (who are only 1/5 female, in case you were wondering).
