Description
Mt. Sims returns to form after relocating from LA to Berlin with his eagerly anticipated third full length. Now with a new moniker– “Mt. Sims” replacing “Mount Sims”– and a full band with Randy Twigg and Andr’e Lange, Mt. Sims drops 12 new songs that bristle with nervous energy. Merging his signature electronic style with stark post-punk textures as first unveiled on his second album Wild Light, Happily Ever After’s songs showcase the new band’s versatility. From the cabaret rave-up of “Playing for Keeps” to the melodramatic dirge of “Love’s Revenge” and the raging death-disco of “the Bitten Bite Back”, the band is flanked by guest appearances of Jessie Evans (Vanishing/ Autonervous) and Toby Dammit (Swans, Iggy Pop). To the delight of his followers, Mt. Sims strays far from the formula of “How We Do”, as proved by the earlier release of a single for “Grave” on 12″ format. Crisp production work done by Thomas Stern of Crime and the City Solution ensures that Happily Ever After is a future classic on par with the work of fellow travelers and collaborators ADULT., the Hacker, Vitalic, or Ladytron.
