Release Notes:
--------
We made the harbor filled with wind, bellowing sea lions, and sand dollars from
past loves, current sisters. What we have collected are chimes in the salty air.
Made the Harbor is an album to swim home to, and to sail away with. It grazes
the horizon with its sails.
Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Amelia Randall Meath met at
Bennington College, in the small town of Bennington, Vermont. They are from the
West, Middle West and Eastern United States. It was not until Molly visited
Bennington during a term off that the seeds of Mountain Man were set on the
windowsill. At the sound of Molly playing a song in the living room of their
shared house, Amelia rushed down the stairs and demanded it be taught to her. At
this point, Molly and Amelia were not friends. But they shared the bond of
mutual heartbreak, of having been left with space between open arms. Amelia
trapped Molly in her room upstairs where she sang 'Dog Song' over and over,
bewildered and a little afraid, until Amelia felt she could remember it well
enough to teach Alex. When Molly came back to Bennington in the spring, Alex and
Amelia excitedly sprang into her room, and all three sang together for the first
time. They were equally bewildered by each other and by the sounds they made
together. Molly and Amelia are still in school, studying Performance and Gender,
and Theater and Performance, respectively. Alex graduated in the spring of 2009
with a degree in Literature and Visual Arts. She is now a nanny for two
wonderful children.
The music of Mountain Man is nestled in the tradition of American folk, but
shoots like diamond dust out...
