We have a special treat for you lovelies today. Tunes & Tumblers welcomes one of the most impressive voices we've ever had to the airwaves. Thao Nguyen of Thao & the Get Down Stay Down steps onto the mic to discuss her latest project For the Record, a blog documenting the process of writing and recording of her forthcoming 7th album. Pedro also mixes one of our most ambitious cocktails to date. The Marrow pays homage to both Thao's 2020 album Temple and her Vietnamese heritage. Peep the recipe below and dive in. Cheers!
