Hungry Eye Records, home to well-respected bands like The Vanishing & The Sixteens, is now home to Mt. Sims (Who at one point used to be the musical vision of one Matt Sims, but is now a full-on band).
Speaking in the most general aspect, with their now much darker, brooding sound, Mt. Sims would fit pretty well between some Joy Division, She Wants Revenge, & Bauhaus (Mt. Sims actually had some production help from David J. on their last album, ‘Wild Light’).
Here are two tracks from ‘A Grave’, perfect for any death disco:
MP3: Mt. Sims- Grave
MP3: Mt. Sims- Lost In the Dark
What I like about Mt. Sims is, whether as a solo project or a band, they are musically adaptable. Having released two previous (more nu-electro-club sounding) albums on dance music juggernaut label International Deejay Gigolos and having toured with the likes of big-name acts like Ladytron & Peaches, we hear how versatile Mt. Sims’ sound really is.
Here are two cuts off of Mt. Sims’ first album, ‘Ultra Sex’:
MP3: Mt. Sims- How We Do
If you like the darker sounds of Mt. Sims of the present, you may find a liking to other acts over at Hungry Eye Records. If you like your beats more electronic and clubby, and enjoy Mt. Sims’ sound of the past, check out the International Deejay Gigolos website. Either way, you’re in for some great music. But who says you have to choose?? Visit both sites!
