"Mount Sims is one of those groups that deserves so much more credit than they have received. Sure, Mount Sims has a following, but there are other groups like Ladytron and Fischerspooner who are receiving most of the acclaim for electroclash music. I think that Mount Sims takes things one step further by adding one more aspect to their music: real 80's revival. The best song on the album "How We Do" even has some fun lyrics with the singer saying "And the way you comb your hair, like it's 1982". The lead singer in Mount Sims is a male voice very similar to that of Felix Da Housecat. "Escape Hatch", "Black Sunglasses", "Togeter Alone" are all worthy and are the standout tracks on this album (in my opinion). "Escape Hatch" has the 80's video game synthesizers in it which sounds so freaking awesome when layered between around the male vocalist from Mount Sims. "Black Sunglasses" is a pretty big hit (and a good one) in the underground electroclash movement, as it appears on a handful of compilations. "Together Alone" is very, very, very similar to "Hella Good" by No Doubt, which was a big song in the USA last year. However, Mount Sims has even outdone that top hit with "Together Alone". This is one of those albums that needs to be purchased early on. Don't put it off. I can't think of many electroclash albums in my collection that are more thrilling than this one."
