1) Mountain Man is an American hardcore band from Massachusetts featuring members of I Rise and Last Lights..
Beginning in 2009, Mountain Man produced a self-released demo and subsequently signed a deal with indie label, Mightier Than Sword. The 10” EP “One.” was released in March 2010. The record showcased the band’s influences from genre pioneers like Neurosis to modern metallic heros like Converge.
Think Fast! co-owner Larry Scott comments on the signing, saying “To be able to have a hand in helping Mountain Man develop, grow, and get their music out to kids worldwide is why we started this label. The fact that they are hardworking and motivated, on top of being one of the best newer bands we’ve heard, sealed the deal for us.”
Drummer Patrick Murphy adds, “since the formation of Mountain Man, Think Fast! have been big supporters and people we could reach out to if we ever needed help in anyway. When they asked us if we wanted to release a record with them the answer was an obvious one. It truly feels like Ryan and Larry both want our band to succeed as much as we do, and they have faith in us to let us make the record we want to make.”
Since the release of “One.”, Mountain Man toured with Soul Control (Bridge 9), followed by a five-week US headline run to support their record.
Murphy notes, “We are excited to finish writing, record the new album, and see what the future holds for Mountain Man. We couldn’t ask for a better situation to be in.”
The album "The Flower Moon" was released in 2019.

2) Mountain Man is an American folk trio from Bennington, Vermont, comprising Amelia Meath, Molly Sarle, and Alex Sauser-Monnig. They often sing a cappella.
There's a fragile balance between the three very different styles and personalities in the three women. They are all songwriters, and having all three approaches with the same treatment on the same album is really satisfying. There is Alex's guitar based songs, with deep, slow moving roots. Amelia, writing for voices alone, creates rising complicated lattice structures. Molly also writes for guitar, but with space for more weight, drama, and tension.
They started singing together in the spring of 2009. They released a limited self-titled album, Mountain Man, followed by Made The Harbor (2010), Magic Ship (2018)

Mountain Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eye warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am here
Laughter swallowing cups of pride
Inside it paints me
With the visions I love
Our Thom Sonny Green
Breathe on me my buffalo
Your eye warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am here
Laughter swallowing cups of pride
Inside it paints me
With the visions I love
For the future tributes
A tome sunny green
The buffalo from buffalo
Who are buffaloed by the buffalo
From buffalo
Buffalo are the buffalo from buffalo
And all's above lay
Pay tribute to the future death
Of our tome Sunny green.
The song Buffalo by Mountain Man is packed with vivid imagery and symbolism that creates a sense of introspection and transcendence. The line "Breathe on me my buffalo" seems to suggest a mystical connection with nature, where the buffalo represents a kind of spiritual guide or totem animal, imparting wisdom and strength to the singer. The warning in the buffalo's eye of "a death without words" could be interpreted as both a literal warning of danger but also a metaphorical warning of the impermanence of life, and the importance of embracing each moment.
The repetition of the lines "I am here" and "Laughter swallowing cups of pride" suggests a sense of presence and acceptance, where the singer is fully present in the moment, letting go of their ego and allowing themselves to be vulnerable. The reference to "Thom Sonny Green" and "a tome sunny green" are intriguing and open to interpretation, perhaps referencing a person, a place, or an idea that is important to the singer and the tributes they hope to offer in the future.
Overall, Buffalo is a song that invites reflection and contemplation on the importance of connecting with nature, embracing the present moment, and recognizing the impermanence of life.
