Album Notes

If Shon Sullivan [guitar and keys - the Eels, Elliott Smith and Neil Finn] could explain his music, he probably never would have written it. Lucky for us, Goldenboy travels in a lush, melancholy world that we can enter with them. 'Blue Swan Orchestra' is for the discriminate and imaginative indie pop connoisseur. One who is searching for something that will take them to another place or time with the eclectic sounds from the bands guitars, toy keyboards and various other unknown instruments as accompaniment to Sullivan's vocals.

With drummer/keyboardist Bryan Bos [previously of Moonwash] and bassist/ keyboardist David McConnell [mix engineer/ producer - Elliott Smith, Folk Implosion, Wilco], Goldenboy has performed around the world with artists such as Neil Finn, The Posies, Luna, Bright Eyes and Grandaddy.

The band tends to include their friends on their recordings, like the guest appearance by Elliott Smith on 'Blue Swan Orchestra" and who knows who shall appear on the next record?

This debut is the end result of a 2 year run thru the sprinklers, midnight swim in the nearby apartment building swimming pool, trip to the local liquor store and then back to the eerie quiet of an American suburbia, and a garage anyone would drive by and never know.......
