To date, Murdoch has released two proper recordings and one soundtrack. All his music has been self-released--on his own Zero Summer Records--with various partners. Four Songs (2002) was a four song EP released on the site CD Baby where it was, for a bit of time, the site's all-time number-one selling record. Time Without Consequence, a traditional eleven song record, was released in 2006. It was one of the most licensed albums of the decade, receiving placements on dozens of films and television shows, making Murdoch that rare artist who is known almost entirely for how his music actually sounds. A number of new songs are previewed in the 2009 movie Away We Go, a film created by director Sam Mendes and written by husband-and-wife team of Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida. The soundtrack featured nine of his songs in total..

Murdoch released his third recording, Towards the Sun (2009), exclusively through his website as a limited edition CD in a hand numbered sleeve. The album was officially released on March 8th 2011.
