About a year ago, maybe longer, I saw "Away We Go," starring John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. It's an amazing film, managing to capture the hilarity, heartbreak, and the little moments in life. Without getting heavy-handed, it's about finding your place in the world.
And, it has the scene-stealing Allison Janney. A big plus for any movie.
While watching "Away We Go," I instantly fell in love with the soundtrack. Most of the music is by Alexi Murdoch, a Scotsman often compared to Nick Drake. His tender vocals and acoustic guitar seep into your soul. His music wasn't just background music, it was a character in the film.
Earlier this year, Murdoch released his second full-length album, Towards The Sun. The vinyl version hits the streets Sept. 6. (I wish artists and records labels would release CDs and vinyl albums on the same day.) I've heard that the vinyl is limited to just 500 copies, so Murdoch fans should plan on pre-ordering it now.
You can get it through Murdoch's Web site.
For those of you who missed "Away We Go" or are not familiar with Murdoch, check out the trailer below.
