Who is Boy Golden? On the one hand it is moniker for a mysterious new artist, who is buildingbuzz following major support for track "KD and Lunch Meat" from his debut album which hit #1 atAlternative radio in home countryof Canada, and major moments including debut at Bonnaroo,and opening for Jason Isbell, MJ Lenderman, and Joshua Ray Walker.On the other hand, Boy Golden is also a conduit for songwriter Liam Duncan—a persona thatallows him to create honestly and freely. For Duncan, Boy Golden grants access to an inner worldonly reachable through music. His three previous albums—For Eden (wistful), For Jimmy (rollicking), and the lemon-yellow-leisure-suited Church of Better Daze—served as a psychicclearing for Best ofOur Possible Lives. This new work finds him mid-journey, reckoning with theself as it was, as it is, and as it can be.
Boy Golden states “The lines between him and I are soluble... Whether it is my spiritual beliefs,my way of living, my sexuality-it comes up in my writing and I am then forced to reckon with it.”
