Alexi Murdoch is a London-born, Scottish-bred, singer/songwriter. His self-published EP, Four Songs (EP), was released in 2002. One song from the album, “Orange Sky,” grew in popularity because it was featured in the movie Garden State (but was not released on the soundtrack). It was later featured in the movie Ladder 49, in an episode of Dawson’s Creek, an episode of Fox’s “The O.C. “, a popular show known for its music, and an episode of Fox’s Prison Break, and also in an episode of Fox’s House. It has also been featured in commercials for the Honda Element as well as Hallmark Cards. It was used again in the trailer for the Warner Independent film Paradise Now in 2005. Director Josh Lowell also used it for several sequences in the climbing video Pilgrimage featuring Chris Sharma. The true oddity of the song “Orange Sky” and its success is the length; coming in at over 6 minutes long. In an interview, Alexi said when he took his music to a record company that the record company guy 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 chorus, et cetera. This is when he supposedly knew he had to go the indie route. The album Four Songs includes “Orange Sky”, “It’s Only Fear”, “Blue Mind” and “Song for You”. 到現(xiàn)在，Alexi Murdoch也算不得大紅大紫，即使他那首Orange Sky因?yàn)橄群蟊浑娪癎arden State、電視劇《桔子郡男孩》和《越獄》選用而廣受歡迎。 　　 　　Alexi Murdoch原籍蘇格蘭，在唱了多年的英式民謠之后，于90年代末期移居洛杉磯，開始受到Indie和Lo-Fi等音樂元素的影響。由于不愿破壞自己特有的曲風(fēng)，他最初只是在小型的音樂聚會上演唱。直到2003年九月，他的演出通過洛杉磯一家電臺播出，他那溫柔、遲疑的嗓音和輕描淡寫般的吉他在聽眾中造成了巨大的反響。2004年，他在Sundance電影節(jié)上演唱Orange Sky，令在場觀眾潸然淚下。 　　 　　這張Time Without Consequence是他錄制的第一張大碟，之前僅有過一張EP，名字也很直率：Four Songs 　　 　　第一次聽到Orange Sky，是在《越獄》中Michael將被轉(zhuǎn)送的那場戲。這首描寫手足之情的歌用在這里實(shí)在太合適了：Michael和Lincoln隔著鐵絲網(wǎng)互相對視，只聽著Alexi一遍遍地哼著In your love, my salvation lies in your love，道盡了兄弟倆那種無奈和凄涼。 更多>>
