In late 2003, things picked up speedily and a bit weirdly for folkie Alexi Murdoch. Moving to batty Los Angeles from Scotland in the late '90s, Murdoch allow the sleepy, weepy U.K. folks legal ooze into indie and lo-fi influences. But he ne'er did practically with his medicine beyond some local gigs, he worried about detrimental his personal attachment to the songs. That was until September 2003, when Murdoch appeared on Nic Harcourt's tastemaking Forenoon Becomes Eclectic exhibit on the L.A. public wireless vent KCRW. The singer's halt, tippy vocals and unpretentious acoustic guitar work made a huge impact, and suddenly, understanding music licensers -- not to mention major labels -- were knocking on the Scotsman's door. He performed at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004, was slated for SXSW that March, and made all the teenagers squall when his dust-covered, melancholy "Orange Sky" tinged a specially sentimental moment on the prison-breaking Fox TV hit The O.C. Murdoch took his sudden and unexpected winner in stride, promoting his self-released EP Quaternity Songs and planning a fountain U.S. circuit patch continuing to field offers from the clamouring major labels. However, non finding the right offer, Murdoch decided to over again severally record and issue his beginning uncut, 2006's Clock time Without Consequence, which contained terzetto of the four songs likewise included on his EP.
