I'm posting this for my sister. As she says' "It's mellow stuff, but a tender listen"
Alexi Murdoch is a London-born, Scottish-bred, singer-songwriter. He went to the U.S. to study philosophy at Duke University.
His self-published EP, Four Songs, was released in 2003, becoming the all time No. 1 selling record in CD Baby history. Murdoch's first album, Time Without Consequence, was released on June 6, 2006. This album peaked at #25 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
One of Murdoch's most popular songs is "Orange Sky". In an interview, Murdoch said when he took the music to a record company that the recording executive popped the disc into his computer rather than a stereo and then proceeded to stare at the counter on the screen waiting to see how long it took to get to the refrain. The executive's reaction supposedly convinced Murdoch to take the indie route of releasing his music.

There is definitely a Nick Drake sensibility goin on here.
Nice post and introduction for Alexi Murdock for us unfamiliar with his work.
I like him a lot more than Nick Drake. I tried to like poor, dead Nick but finally gave up and admitted to myself that he is as boring as fuck.
Well, the harem and myself never seem to find fuck very boring at all.
Maybe you should try putting down the chainsaw?
Why? I find it the only foolproof foreplay.
Damn, inrum, you not only write interesting posts, you are funny as well.
As far as Alexi goes, I could have sworn I heard Orange Sky on a different MOG post. Either way, I like it, but I actually like "It's Only Fear" even more. I think just about everyone in the world could benefit from repeating the title alone once in a while---and the melody is very pretty.
And with you smiling face gracing the post. it is now complete. :-)
Awwww, gee...:)
I am quite positive I was not getting notifications for a while.....probably vice versa....but if you get a chance, I would be honored if you would take a look at my niece playing guitar (I posted it)....I know you are a guitarist, and she is fairly new at it....I'm no expert but I think she is better than she realizes....
I just found this post IRF.. as I found Alexi Murdoch... awesome stuff... mwah
