Dabbling in the creative pools of Aaron Mangle, half of noisy boy-girl garage duo Cousins, this playlist brings to light some of the diverse musical artistry that inspired their latest record. Though impossible to track a creative process, there does seem to be something magical in discovering the expressions that influenced an artist you admire. Tune in and unveil some of that mystique.
