Detroit-based psychedelic R&B group, Cousin Mouth, is the brainchild of songwriter and producer Alex Burns. Having performed at various Detroit venues in the past including El Club, Deluxx Flux, and The Skip, Burns is staying inspired as the ongoing pandemic casts a gloom of uncertainty over the live music industry. Showcasing a canorous and dreamlike sound, their signature groove and beat-based style encapsulate how past experiences and relationships inevitably influence our present.
