Last night I saw Mountain Man supporting Jonsi at the Academy. The set was short, but every song was breathtaking. The venue was much larger than The Deaf Institute, where I saw the band in June, and, obviously, the majority of the audience didn't come for the support, but their presence completely commanded the hall's attention. And I'd have to say that, in the past three months, Mountain Man have grown even tighter, which I wouldn't have believed possible.
There is something so enchantingly sublime about watching this band play. Made the Harbour is seductive and consuming, but even that does not compare to the live renditions, actually seeing in the faces that which you were so sure you heard on the record.
This is a recording of Dog Song. It is absolutely beautiful, just listen to those last wails.
