#6 - Andrea Morgan (THE KEENING/EXULANSIS) listens to Buried Inside's "Chronoclast"

Violinist and singer Andrea Morgan introduces Jon to Buried Inside and their 2005 album "Chronoclast (Selected Essays on Time-Reckoning and Auto-Cannibalism)". Andrea plays in atmospheric and blackened doom metal band Exulansis, as well as Rebecca Vernon's new solo project The Keening, with whom she toured Europe and North America earlier in 2024. She chose to spin a concept album about time and its stranglehold on all things because of the breadth of its art, as well as how influential the music has been on her journey as a musician. During their conversation, Andrea opens up about what it's like to live as a professional musician and the sacrifices that have to come along with that, as well as navigating the metal world as one of the few violinists. Of course, she also waxes poetic about "Chronoclast" and how everything — from the lyrics to the music to how the vinyl is packaged and presented — is painstakingly intentional. At the end, she talks about reaching out to Mark Molnar, the string player on this record, and the response he sent her in return.
