Listen: Mountain Man’s New Album Magic Ship

We can think of few things better than a Sunday spent with the new Mountain Man album, Magic Ship. It’s their first album in eight years, and their debut for the mighty Nonesuch label. This trio was going strong, opening for and collaborating for Feist when they went their separate ways to pursue life interests, solo careers, and the electropop of Sylvan Esso. But they are back in a major way. We can’t get over “Boat” and “Slow Wake Up Sunday Morning”—appropriate, huh? Listen to the whole thing. See ’em at Big Ears 2019.
