Author: Markly Morrison February 3, 2023 Duration: 38:34
Chronophage is a band that started in Austin, TX and has since scattered into various locations.  While on tour in winter 2021, band members Adam, Casey, Sarah and Parker dropped by for an in-studio taping at the Happy Birthday House for Channel 22 on Thurston Community Media.  Madison Nadine conducts this interview along with first time co-host Markly Morrison. The group talks about their new self-titled album recorded by studio masters Craig Ross (Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, Daryl Hall, Patty Griffin) and Stuart Sullivan (Willie Nelson, Sublime, Meat Puppets, Butthole Surfers), touring, collaborative approach in and out of the band, and solving the mystery of love. Chronophage also performs two songs from each of their most recent albums, Th’ Pig Kiss’d Album and Chronophage. This episode has been adapted from a made-for-TV production that isn’t out yet.  Watch this space for that release.  In the meantime, enjoy some of Chronophage’s videos and recordings:A/V: Andrew Ebright, Miles Rozatti, Hannah ByrdIllustration by Lani MorrisonLow Profile is listener supported via patreon.com/lowprofileIn-kind support from Olympia, WA businesses San Francisco Street Bakery, Schwartz's Deli, Old School Pizzeria, Rainy Day Records and Tapes, and Scherler Easy Premium Shitty American Lager from Three Magnets Brewing Company.  Follow @lowpropodcast on intragram for developments of our collaborative concert series Scherler Sundays.Want to make your own vinyl singles in quantities as low as 50 copies, with an average turnaround time of 2 weeks?

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.
