We posted a Mt. Sims reminder post a couple months back — well now Sim’s third full length Happily Ever After is right around the corner and the promo cycle is in full swing.

“The Bitten Bite Back” is a surprising new direction — We got a glimpse of this with “Grave,” but Mt. Sims has ditched electro-pop and gone for a more mature sound that seems to be channeling Joy Division or something at times… Still, Sims is working with some similar themes but the entire package is a welcoming change of pace. Even though “The Bitten Bite Back” is kind of comfortable, it’s one of my favorite new songs:

Nu-Goth has been kinda bubbling under the surface for the past twelve months or so — Happily Ever After will only add fuel to the fire. Look for it in stores October 21st, 2008.
