Mountain Man, which began its first tour in six years on Monday, is on NPR's World Cafe. The trio talks with host Talia Schlanger about its first album in eight years, Magic Ship, and performs "Rang Tang Ring Toon," "Boat," and "Underwear," from the album.

"Something truly magical happens when Amelia Meath, Molly Erin Sarlé, and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig are in the same room, huddled around the same mic, breathing and harmonizing together," says Schlanger. "I feel like there was a big collective exclamation of glee when we found out that Mountain Man was making a new album called Magic Ship. I needed an album like this."

You can hear the conversation and performance here:

The group also stopped by WFUV in New York City for an FUV Live set of Magic Ship songs. Prepare to be "swept away by their gorgeous harmonies," says host Alisa Ali, as they sing from this "cozy collection of songs." You can hear them do so at wfuv.org.
