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.”

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.

I’ll be releasing a demo version of Suffer on May 29 - this will be the first of several songs released as a part of a ‘Best of Our Possible Lives Deluxe'. Nearly all of my songs begin as acoustic demos on my Tascam 388 - an 8-track tape machine I keep in my living room. This version of Suffer was recorded on that machine and mixed straight off of the board. It’s faithful to the original intent of the song.
We’ve also been working on a digital zine which includes an essay I’ve written about Suffer, a guitar tutorial, the typewritten lyrics, and more. Pre-save the song at the link in my bio to unlock the zine on release day :)

all it takes to become Old Man Moontan is a lot of makeup and a change in attitude.
