about

At this late stage in their game, I'm Being Good are basically here for their own entertainment, relentlessly seeking out new ways to keep themselves interested in whatever limited sonic and conceptual palettes their dwindling faculties will permit. Like the muscle memory-driven reflexes of a geriatric De Kooning the neural pathways directing their instincts are calcified and practically hard wired.

So this is where we find them, shuffling down the side of the dual carriageway at 3am looking for a riff they set aside somewhere in 1995. Except the riff is now a shopping mall and the late night security won't let them in. Onward they trudge, ducking into some shrubbery to avoid a passing truck. "I'm sure I left it in here somewhere," they mutter, tugging haplessly at a knot of branches, eventually emerging from the other side minus one slipper.

"The guitars slide around so much they sound like they’ll fall out of the speakers. It’s like a huge creaking ship, swaying and crashing into waves of drums." - beatstothebar.com

"Fragmented progression, long discordant digressions in which always float bits of eruptive melodies, sudden lurches and a malleable tension." - perteetfracas.org

"It's not an easy record, it's a record of exhaustion, which after listening to it in its entirety leaves the listener standing without the energy of a prehistoric person, the cave captain." - adecouvrirabsolument.com

"slinging deliriously woozy lead guitars over tightly wound, angular art-rock foundations." Stewart Lee, The Sunday Times.
