Description:

Time Without Consequence is the highly acclaimed debut studio album from British singer-songwriter Alexi Murdoch. Released in 2006, the album is a quiet and introspective collection of songs that have gained a considerable cult following. The sound is built on a foundation of acoustic guitar fingerpicking and Murdoch's hushed, intimate vocals. The arrangements are sparse and deliberate, creating a sense of space and melancholy that is a defining characteristic of the record

The album's emotional depth and atmospheric quality are its most significant assets. The lyrical themes often revolve around the search for meaning, a sense of home, and the passage of time, all conveyed with a poetic and philosophical touch. Many of the songs, such as the fan favorite "Orange Sky" and the emotional opener "All My Days," had been previously released on his 2002 EP, Four Songs, and were re-recorded for this full-length album.

One of the most notable aspects of Time Without Consequence is its enduring legacy as a go-to soundtrack for film and television. The album's songs have been prominently featured in a wide array of productions, including Garden State, The O.C., and Away We Go, with the latter almost exclusively using Murdoch's music. This widespread licensing has made the album one of the most recognized and licensed of its decade, introducing his deeply moving music to a massive audience that may not have otherwise discovered it
