Mountain Man "Animal Tracks"



Ironically, Mountain Man is a group of three girls (Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Amelia Randall Meath) that bring a "wise as oak" folklore to the audible landscape this morning. Perfect for the Fall, "Animal Tracks," is an adventurous and spiritual hike through the wilderness. Pitchfork best categorized Mountain Man as "set up camp between the old-timey lilt of Aela Diane or Fleet Foxes and the laid-back lo-fi vibes of Underwater Peoples pals like Real Estate and Julian Lynch." As a great admirer of both Fleet Foxes and Underwater Peoples (especially Real Estate), it is no wonder that this feels right.

Alex Bleeker and the Freaks (the same Alex Bleeker of Real Estate), covered Mountain Man's "Animal Tracks." Bleeker and the Freaks elaborate on Mountain Man's hand sketched original cut with scuzzy guitar and a wider production. The cover is the first song off of the band's self-titled LP by way of Underwater Peoples.
