It has been awhile since Santigold released an album. Four years actually, and back then she spelled it Santogold. However, you will never hear me bad mouth an artist because they took too long to release an album. Look at Portishead, or look at my beloved Alexi Murdoch. He takes his sweet time in between [...]

Good afternoon, friends, Naturally owls know better than to get caught in the rain, so I am fluffed up by the fire with a hot buttered rum. Since you’re probably about to brave the outside with one of those horrific umbrella things that don’t even keep the water off your middles, I thought I’d be kindly and provide the perfect soundtrack to a wet afternoon. Yours cosily, Brian Rainy days on Spotify.

Alexi Murdoch - At Your Door  Another beautiful one you can add to your soft acoustic guitar playlist.

You may not know the name K Ishibashi too well, but you might’ve heard him before. Dude has played with everyone from Spektor">Regina Spektor and Sondre Lerche (your favorite!) to Alexi Murdoch and of Montreal, of which he is a member. He also helped found new wave synth group Jupiter One, who you might also not be familiar with but may have heard while playing EA games like Madden NFL 08 and NHL 08 . (Or maybe you’re more of a Leisure Suit Larry kind of gamer?) But K Ishibashi seems less interested nowadays in soundtracking games and ...

As a member in of Montreal, Kishi Bashi not only played strings on the band's new album, Paralytic Stalks, but collaborated with Kevin Barnes as a producer as well - an experience which heavily influenced 151a, with Barnes pushing him to new heights of creativity and broader use of violin. The result of this push is Kishi Bashi's debut full-length, 151a ,   The album is set to be released on April 10, 2012 via Joyful Noise Recordings. The follow-up to his summer 2011 Room For Dream EP , 151a is a bright and soaring avant pop record written primarily on violin ...

Alexi tells the person to his right that "of course he'll be in the photo". Alexi Murdoch is one of those musicians whose music makes me stop in my tracks. Even if I'm sitting down. Right now I'm listening to the title track from his new album Towards the Sun , and I can barely type. I just want to melt into a soft blanket or a cloud. Maybe that's just 'cause it's Saturday and I want to go back to sleep.You can listen to the song "Towards the Sun" in its entirety at his ...

Folkster Alexi Murdoch has announced three UK live dates for November. Tickets are on sale now.

Thursday 24th November 2011 – Brighton Haunt Friday 25th November 2011 – London Union Chapel Saturday 26th November 2011 – Glasgow Captain’s Rest

Following two packed-out London shows and the release of his album ‘Towards the Sun’ earlier this year, critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Alexi Murdoch is returning to Europe this November and has announced three UK dates, including a show at London’s Union Chapel. More details below. You...

This album had me from track 1. Jono McCleery strikes an excellent balance between vocal control and letting himself go to maintain the soulfulness. Picture the vocals of James Blake, but thicker, against the backdrop of Bonobo's earlier jazzy lo-fi albums (whom McCleery recently supported) and you've got a basic idea of this debut. These are the obvious comparisons, but the London based solo artist brings an originality to the table. The manipulation of sound and electronic elements of the music are played down and subtle, resulting in an underlying haunting mood beneath a Patrick Watson come Alexi ...

There are few who escape Los Angeles alive. This is considerably truer when the lucky few we speak of are folk-rock troubadours. In Alexi Murdoch’s case, it seems fitting that the concrete jungle was a place of enchantment for his extravagant musical beginnings, yet simultaneously placed him on a comfortable path towards worldwide stardom. It’s 7.15 PM. As the doors open to Leicester Square’s Borderline, the rows of fans swoop down the steep flight of... Continue reading Interview: Alexi Murdoch

Bonne grosse claque avec Gaspar Claus en première partie. Seul sur scène avec son violoncelle, on sent d'emblée le mec habité par sa musique et qui improvise en permanence. Très jolie performance également d'Alexi Murdoch et de sa folk délicate devant un parterre assis et attentif. Reste que l'absence de lumières lors des 3 premiers morceaux n'aura pas aidé à sortir des clichés dignes de ce nom...
