Mountain Man: Tiny Desk Family Hour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Stephen Thompson | When Mountain Man began a decade ago, it consisted of three close friends arraying their voices in a resplendent blend, often without so much as an acoustic guitar for adornment. Today, the configuration remains exactly the same, except that all three members - Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, Molly Sarlé and Amelia Meath - have developed strong solo identities along the way. Sauser-Monnig also records wonderful folk-pop songs under the name Daughter of Swords, Molly Sarlé released a magnificent single under her own name earlier this year, and Meath is the singing, dancing half of the transcendent synth-pop powerhouse Sylvan Esso.
So when Mountain Man showed up for a softly joyful set at NPR Music's Tiny Desk Family Hour - recorded live at Austin's Central Presbyterian Church during SXSW on Tuesday night - it was almost like seeing four acts at once: three solo, one collective. Choosing a single excerpt was a fool's errand, so here are three: the breezy a cappella "AGT," from 2018's Magic Ship, as well as Mountain Man arrangements of Sarlé's "Human" and Daughter of Swords' "Grasses."
Saw these sirens when Feist toured Metals with them. It was fucking fantastic.
You can just see Amelia make eye-contact with someone in the crowed; a wink, hair twirl, and a smile. You lucky bastard.
I love it!!
That was me!!! A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.
I have another job interview today-this time it’s a big one! Still watching to calm the nerves a year later
the tempo ramp at end of first song so cool
Love them. I especially am intrigued by the fashion choice of the gorgeous dress and baseball cap, fabulous!! Exquisite voices and humans!
hahaha amelia flirting at 1:16!! :)

Reminds me of the muses from “O Brother Where Art Thou”- anyone?

there's something about their voices that demand your attention... i cannot listen to them and do anything else but be present.
Pump it straight into my veins. That first number left me speechless.
Such beautiful harmonies
the girl at the end has an AMAZING voice! I could seriously listen to her for hours!
this may be silly but i have a job interview this morning and i was such a bundle of nerves but i stumbled across this and it really took me out of my body for a few minutes and let me calm down

Just taken to an ethereal place! Bless y’all🙏
They did an amazing job on this set love these girls so so so much
Beautiful harmonies
A couple of centuries ago, these sirens would have been burned at the stake for witch craft. They put a spell on me, and I'm theirs.
LOL Thank you for describing what they did to me, too. Thank you NPR/TC and, of course, MM!
This is beautiful. This version of "Human" deserves to be in Resident Alien season 4.
thank u NPR omg
Beautiful music.
I just feel blessed they came together.
Beautiful
Almost reminds me of a female Crosby Stills and Nash.
Perfeito..eu sou rapper e curti muito o estilo 😍😎
Mountain Man is SO good.
Lovely!
Pure gold
Very nice harmony, wonderful song. Thank you.
give me a goosebumps
Such talent to be able to portray the human conditions so delicately
Ahhh I remember discovering them from Feist a while back.
that was so lovely
I’ll never make into heaven, so this’ll more than fill that void.
Beautiful ❤️
I love this! I would have loved to be in the audience! I'm a new fan.
Beautiful
beautiful-ness, wonderful-ness
HARMONY!!! 🎙🎼🎶🎵
I appreciate their sound and their talent but not my thing.
Even if it's not your thing your comment is really nice 😊 wish everyone would be that nice laying a comment on a thing that's not their thing
Thank you for the acknowledgement and respect, I feel the same about other acts and never understand why others are so ugly sometimes!!
Amelia made eye contact with me for a solid minute at a small show in Asheville nc and I ascended lol
Hey that‘s the singer of Sylvan Esso on the left. Interesting that she does such different music, too.
I THOUGHT that was her!!!!?!?!?!
She did Mountain Man before Sylvan Esso I think.
She did indeed!!
Reminds me of A Mighty Wind
So lovely! Will the whole concert be available?
I really want to know about the mic and the recording setting of npr
It's just crazy how good the sound is! Would prefer that to a lot of albums.
Badass
WOW!
Anyone else get massive Tracy Chapman vibes from the second song?
Reuben Tyler-Wilkinson i do!
Isn't one of them the Gal from Sylvan Esso? They are #dope
yes, amelia
She was from Mountain Man first!! ;)
Guess Who's Back. Sweaty As Hell

@ataricombat How did you pull that from a joke? Is that a preset response you told yourself to say when something offends you? Well its not a generic response and it doesn't fit. Do you want to try again?
