Molly Sarlé

Molly Sarlé is an American musician. She is a member of the folk group Mountain Man and in 2019 released a solo album, Karaoke Angel.

Early life and Mountain Man Sarlé was born in Santa Cruz, California, and attended Bennington College in Vermont, where Mountain Man was formed. In 2012 Sarlé intended to quit her music career and moved to Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in California, then moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Tony Inglis of The Skinny described the album as "filled mostly with quiet, vocal-led tracks that veer from haunting, sparse ballads to something more hopeful" and praised "This Close" as the song in which "Sarlé’s intentions seem to all lock into place, bringing together elements that have varied successes individually across the album’s ten songs". In Exclaim!, Allie Gregory argued that "Sarlé's stunning voice" is at the album's center, "and it beats the soul raw while simultaneously supplicating an empathetic ear" and described "Human," "Karaoke Angel" and "Almost Free" as "the album's hardest hitting tracks, covering a range of human emotion: pain, sadness, ecstasy, longing, glee and defeat".

Other work Sarlé spent time as a backing vocalist for Feist. Sarlé's vocals feature on the songs "Grasses" and "Long Leaf Pine" by Daughter of Swords, the solo project of her Mountain Man bandmate Alexandra Sauser-Monnig.
