Album: Away We Go (Soundtrack)
Artist:
Alexi Murdoch
Release Date: 6/2/2009
Over the past 5 years, Alexi Murdochs music has been quietly engaging a fast-growing audience across the globe. After the unprecedented indie success of a first home-spun EP in 2003, which ultimately sold over 50,000 copies, Murdoch released the critically acclaimed debut album Time Without Consequence through his own label, Zero Summer Records, in 2006. Rolling Stone quickly named Murdoch one of that years 10 Artists to Watch, while Interview lauded his ability to directly communicate a wellspring of deep emotion, Alternative Press awarded the album a 5 out of 5 rating, and similar raves came in from Entertainment Weekly, Paste,The Onion, and may more.
While his songs have been featured in such films as Gone Baby Gone and Garden State, as well as the trailer for Academy Award-nominated foreign film Paradise Now, his work on Away We Go represents the first instance where Murdoch is the primary musical voice of an entire film.
