Like the sequel to a novel, Mt.Sims (Matt Sims) returns with his magnum opus entitled "Happily Ever After...Again!" as the final response to his previously released album "Happily Ever After". This new album begins where the last one left off, asking the questions "why am i here", and "how can i transcend myself". With songs like Grave and The Bitten bite back linking the past to the present, Sims's text dissect the human condition, giving it a hard look and pointing out the repercussions and could be repercussions of our behavior. As one sinks deeper in the head of Mt.Sims, it becomes clear that this album is a story dealing with faith and the worship of ideology. From the perspective a solider with many faces, Sims skips around from army to army, side to side, life to death, present to forgotten. From song to song, the one can hear a voice questioning his own identity and the way that he sees the world. Candy coated, a song of violent obsession, screams in ending "how could you love me to destroy me?" Disappearing act drives like a car on a never-ending highway. What the driver must deliver is his own soul. As Sims sings " I see my footprints on the floor but i can't see myself anymore", one can realize the voice crying out from the speaker, in an acousmatic tradition, is separated from its owner who at this point has vanished from site. As the Soldier changes faces, he is Orpheus, he is a Kamikaze pilot, he is the ghost of childhood, he is a gypsy and he is finally Matt Sims. This album is a journey where fiction and fact intertwine and leave cold impressions about human behavior and our need to believe in something. Lyrically this album shows that most of the time our ideologies need us. From floating psychedelic textures and screeching synths to strange yet beautiful melodies that writhe and twist around deadly disco beats, one can come closer to understanding the necessity of contradiction in modernity. One may find themselves by losing themselves in this soon to be cult classic. A mixture of Electronic and acoustic, this album delivers an environment to question all that you believe is true.... but don't believe a word we say.
