Mt Sims- new video for "Grave" out now!

Berlin based band Mt. Sims has just released a video for the song "Grave" off of the recently released third album album on Hungry Eye Records entitled "Happily Ever After". The song, says vocalist/ guitarist Matt Sims, "deals with human nature which, going along with animal nauture, has a tendency to fight against itself. Willingly we fight and defeat ourselves in an attempt to save ourselves." Produced by photographer and former East Village Radio program director Echo Danon and directed by Danon and Bart Grieb, and shot on location in the abandoned Spree Park in Berlin. Danon is a long time collaborator with Matt Sims, having previously shot photos for the band, done some production work for the previous Mount Sims album "White Light" and background vocals on the Mount Sims/ the Hacker track "Traces," and even worked with Matt on the band/ project So Does the Fire (http://www.myspace.com/sodoesthefire). Grieb is is an independent film director and visual artist, as well as the president of Cygnet Films. This is his first project with Mt. Sims.

Mt Sims- video for "A Grave" forthcoming!

In a short amount of time, Mt Sims will release a video for the staggering song "Grave," which appeared on Happily Ever After as well as on the A Grave EP.

It was a 2 camera shoot filmed in the abandoned Spreepark in Berlin over the course of 2 days by Bart Grieb and Matt's long-time collaborator Echo Danon. Bart is an NYC photographer (currently shooting an A&E biography), has been a gaffer for the past 7 years, and owns Cygnet Films, the lighting rental company. Echo is a familiar face in the music, photography, radio, and film world herself, who, along with shooting camera B, did make-up and helped with wardrobe and production.

As a teaser, you'll find a screen shot by Echo Danon below:

New Hungry Eye titles at Manic Depression Records in France

Manic Depression has put a number of additional Hungry Eye and Hungry Eye and related titles in their mailorder catalog, to make it a little easier for folks from France to obtain fine titles by the likes of Red Voice Choir, Black Ice, Sixteens, and the Holy Kiss. Copies of the Mt Sims 12" went out that way as well, but are not yet to be found in the webstore. Perhaps they've sold already? In any event, keep your eyes peeled for them, as well as for another round of Hungry Eye releases to reach there shortly.

JOIN US FOR ANOTHER XY:XX SESSION

THIS TIME WE'LL BE HOSTING
THE OFFICIAL HUNGRY EYE RECORDS RELEASE PARTY
FOR
MT. SIMS NEW ALBUM:
HAPPILY EVER AFTER"

MT. SIMS HAS LONG BEEN STIRRING THINGS UP IN LOS ANGELES UNDERGROUND SCENE VIA BERLIN-NEW YORK...NOW HE'S BACK WITH A FULL LENGTH ALBUM AND IN FULL POWER MOTION!!!!





"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.
