Who is Boy Golden? On the one hand it is moniker for a mysterious new artist, who is building buzz following major support for track "KD and Lunch Meat" from his debut album which hit #1 atAlternative radio in home country of 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 that allows him to create honestly and freely. For Duncan, Boy Golden grants access to an inner world only 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 psychic clearing for Best of Our Possible Lives.
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.”

what a weekend! Saw @fontinemusic766 rock Winnipeg Folk Fest’s main stage on Thursday, accompanied by Austy, Corey and many of our friends, then a quick, hot rip down to Minneapolis to play the Minnesota Country Club Festival, and then an even hotter rip back to Winnipeg in our van with AC not really working, where I got sing some Neil Young at Winnipeg Folk, accompanied by Dani!
Sheesh! Time for a few days rest… stay cool yall my house is currently 30 degrees.

this is the essay I wrote to commemorate the acoustic version of ‘Suffer’ - it goes through the conception, release, struggles, and victories this song has had, and some of my thoughts on how art has been intersecting with the fascistic forces rising in the world. hope you enjoy the read, thanks for listening ❤️🔥

today I present the acoustic demo of Suffer - recorded and mixed analog styles straight off my Tascam 388. this is how all my songs start!
along with the song, you can check out a zine we put together called Meditations on Suffer. In it you will find an essay on Suffer, the typewritten lyrics, and a handwritten chord chart. check it out! thanks to my Tiana and Taylor and Sarah and Amber and the whole mgmt team for all the support putting this together.
Juno on this track by @krisulrich and cover photo is an outtake from my album shoot with @buioassis.
