I was just about to write about the new Mountain Man 10″ EP coming out July 20th on Underwater Peoples, but the full-length album that comes out the same day has the same five songs, plus eight more.  I’m gonna have to say that the full album is the safer bet, but the EP contains alternate takes (some of which ARE better), so if you become a Moutain Man megafan after reading this, you should probably pick up both.  Plus, Underwater Peoples rules.  Anyway, Vermont’s Mountain Man is actually three women, Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Amelia Randall Meath.  They play beautiful, harmonic folk music, stuff that should appeal to anyone that loved Fleet Foxes or Bon Iver, though this is far more rustic and homemade.  I’d be quite surprised if these ladies didn’t blow up pretty big soon, so jump on this train early.  The LP is available on 180 gram coke bottle green vinyl (limited to 300) for $20 or 180 gram black vinyl for $14.  Visit PartisanRecords.com.
