Goldenboy – Underneath The Radio

Shon Sullivan was given the nickname “golden boy” by Elliott Smith on a European tour and it stuck. “Goldenboy” also carry over some sounds of Elliot Smith. At times the comparison are really rather in your face. Like for example on “Motorbike” vocally very Morrissey influenced and a dash of Neil Finn musically. Now, “Underneath The Radio” is not a bad record. The record is very well written and produced. The duo have crafted some very irresistible melodies. It is just that Shon vocal is so hard to over look.
