Music That Takes Me Places

BOY GOLDEN, BEST OF OUR POSSIBLE LIVES

BOY GOLDEN

Manitoba songwriter Boy Golden, born Liam Duncan, began releasing music independently in the late 2010s before breaking through with his 2021 debut album, Church of Better Daze. Rooted in country but with a strong sense of melody and pop, his music is warm, laid back, and often funny, with Duncan writing openly about his own life and experiences.

On his third album, Best of Our Possible Lives, Duncan looks at where he has been and where he is headed, writing about sobriety, getting older, and trying to become a better version of himself. What I liked most is how easy the album feels without ever feeling slight. Warm guitars, easy percussion, and open arrangements give the songs plenty of room, while Duncan’s melodies and laid back delivery make the album inviting.
