Down On Copperline: In Conversation With Mountain Man
There’s always been an element of kismet to Mountain Man, the vocal trio of Molly Sarlé, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath. They first met while college students at Bennington in Vermont, when Meath overheard Sarlé singing, learned one of her songs and decided that her other friend Sauser-Monnig should team up with them.
From the start, the three women’s voices fit together perfectly, in a lovely blend on spare, often unadorned folk songs, evoking the feeling of singing around a campfire. In addition to performing as Mountain Man, they backed up acts including Feist and Decemberists. After a stretch of years when they were scattered across the country, they reconvened in the Triangle, where Meath had moved to form the Grammy-winning electronic duo Sylvan Esso with Nick Sanborn.

It s the latest instalment in their Mountain Man Sings series
Mountain Man Sings series via Nonesuch Records. If we followed Questlove s advice and made gratitude lists before we went to bed every night, Fiona Apple would be at the top every time, the band explained in a statement. She tells the truth like no one else does. Thank you, Fiona Apple. We love you.
Mountain Man Sings covers of tracks from Neil Young, Kacey Musgraves, Wilco and John Denver, as well as a pair of holiday specials, Greensleeves and White Christmas.
Their last full-length album was 2018 s
Andrews released her latest album, ‘Old Flowers’, last year through Fat Possum.
NME gave the record a four-star review upon its release, saying the singer “pours her heart out for this intimate and stripped-back collection”.
“With instrumentation provided solely by Andrews and two other musicians – Matthew Davidson on everything from bass and pedal steel to pump organ and Big Thief’s James Krivchenia on drums – her hushed, acoustic sound of her seventh album is fittingly meditative.”

Following the release of ‘Old Flowers’, Andrews shared a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘America’, alongside Liz Cooper and Molly Sarlé.
