The wait is over, and your patience is being rewarded. Mountain Man has released Magic Ship,  a new album of sparse and dreamy new Appalachian-inspired folk songs.  Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso), Molly Sarle, and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig (ASM) have been busy with their other bands and with solo recordings since Mountain Man's debut Made the Harbor was released eight years ago.

The trio said they don't expect another decade will pass before their next collaboration.

Mountain Man plays the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw November 17th and 18th with The Dead Tongues. 

There's more music from Mountain Man online at WUNC Music and at 91.5 HD2.
