Sub Plot CD
At present, Brighton's I'm Being Good are retreading the steps of the late, lamented American band Polvo, slinging deleriously woozy lead guitars over tightly wound, angular art-rock foundations. At a time when most British bands disport themselves in worthless second-hand signifiers, there are worse precedents to build on, and I'm Being Good are to be admired for attempting anything interesting amid a culture of Toploader NME cover stories. He Has Unborn Eyes on Long Tinsel Stalks is the highlight here, heavier than the most determined nu-metal band, yet evidencing an intelligent, focused intent.
