It&#8217;s been recently reissued through Eenie Meenie Records on vinyl along with a new record,<em> The New Familiar<\/em>. \u00a0This album features relaxed percussion and vocals seemingly inspired by Elliott Smith and the Smiths. \u00a0The background harmonies can be dark and droning adding an edgier spin to their sound. \u00a0The track &#8216;Summertime&#8217; actually features the late Elliott Smith, a good friend of Shon Sullivan, the lead singer. \u00a0There is a sense of fluidity throughout the album that coincides with the matured sound of Goldenboy&#8217;s music. This album is improved by repeated listening from start to finish, so playing one song in the midst of a radio show wouldn&#8217;t allow for full appreciation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sounds like<\/strong>: Elliott Smith, Belle &amp; Sebastian, The Smiths<br \/>\n<strong>Recommended<\/strong>: 1, 6, 7, 8, 11<br \/>\n<strong>DNP<\/strong>: none<br \/>\n<strong>Reviewed by Kate Sopich on September 9, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-15938\" title=\"goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra\" src=\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A re-release of that California pop<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4332,"featured_media":15938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230],"tags":[993,992],"class_list":["post-15937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","tag-blue-swan-orchestra","tag-goldenboy"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/goldenboy-blue-swan-orchestra.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4332"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
