Mountain Man is not quite what you might expect. Instead of some country blues outfit, Mountain Man is an acoustic folkie trio consisting of Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Amelia Randall Meath, who favor quiet, introspective, harmony-based tunes, as evidenced by their debut album, Made the Harbor, which features such lilting songs as “Animal Tracks” and “Soft Skin,” and the new Live at the Wiltern (Partisan, July 2011). They’ll be at the Mercury Lounge on Thursday night with BOBBY, an oddball grindcore group based in Montague, Massachuestts, made up of Tom Greenberg, Martin Zimmerman (Chunk), Paolo Menuez (Pillow), Julian Labat (Crumbles), Roby Moulton (Moldy), and Mountain Man’s Sarle, combining offbeat instrumentation with changing melodies on such tunes as “Sore Spores” and “If It’s Dead Outside” from their eponymous debut (Partisan, June 2011).
