The second part of Michael Sean Coleman's interview with Dublin-based psych-folk legend Alison O'Donnell. This conversation covers her time in the band Flibbertigibbet while living in South Africa during apartheid in the late 70s and early 1980s, more about her work with Mellow Candle and the process that went into their classic album "Swaddling Songs," and her upcoming solo record. This episode marks a season break for Low Profile, we will return with more new episodes in July of 2021. Thanks for listening!

There’s a whole world of essential music made by people who never became household names. Low Profile with Markly Morrison seeks out those artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures, blending their stories with the music they created. Host Markly Morrison, an audio journalist and musician based in Olympia, Washington, approaches these conversations as oral history-less about fame and more about the craft, the context, and the often overlooked contributions that shaped sounds we love. You’ll hear intimate, detailed interviews that pull back the curtain on influential work, paired with the tracks that define these careers. The show originates as a radio program on KAOS 89.3 FM but finds its enduring home as a podcast distributed by Ruinous Media, allowing these deep-dive stories to be savored anytime. Each episode is a chance to discover not just new music, but the rich human experiences behind it, focusing on the genuine artistry that exists far from the glare of the mainstream spotlight. This podcast is for anyone who believes the most compelling stories in music are often the ones you haven’t heard yet.
