Best of Our Possible Lives is twelve songs of self-discovery, best considered as roots music from a galaxy far away. Uniting the distant universes of 80s folk pop and 90s country, Boy Golden collides with influences including edgy modern indie rock and is a swaggering slice of sonic exploration that is destined to captivate you from the first note.
Today, Boy Golden releases the new single “Suffer” – cowbell-ladened indie rock and roll, with lyrics exploring the Buddhist philosophy that the one thing that unifies us all is our human capacity to suffer. He is currently on tour with Birdtalker with upcoming stops in Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake, Denver, Boulder and more.
Holler premiered the track, describing it as, “a cowbell bashing slice of self-consciously louche and artful indie rock and roll with Boy Golden delivering a blistering State of the Nation address.”
Boy Golden shared, “I write songs to seek understanding. Suffering, the first of the Four Noble Truths, is universal. It takes different shapes and forms and magnitudes, but the pain of change, the pain of mortality, the pain of living in bodies we did not choose, is shared.
“Suffer” can’t help but be a political song, because our lives have inherent political consequences, but I don’t believe it to be a partisan song. I write songs to find the threads that bind us all together.
The song came when my ideals were being tested and shattered by the world as it is now. I hope that anyone listening to this song can come to the same conclusion that I did: if we only have this moment, what you do in this moment is who you are. Who do you want to be?”
