When struck by the beauty of the melody and the phrasing, I challenged myself to see what I could do with it to completely change the vibe, but keep\u00a0the integrity of the melody. As I decided to not have vocals here, the narrative of the original, of course, is lost.\u00a0But my friend Yuan just happened to be over my place at the moment I was recording this and I asked her to improvise some dialogue,\u00a0which she did brilliantly. This of course alters the original narrative but keeps the underlying theme of love intact.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>The release of\u00a0\u2018Mere Husk\u2019 will be celebrated in conjunction with\u00a0Gustin&#8217;s forthcoming photography book \u2018Foundscapes\u2019 (releasing with 11A Records)\u00a0at Brooklyn NY&#8217;s Step Bone Cut\u00a0on February 1st.\u00a0\u00a0\u2018Mere Husk\u2018\u00a0is available for preorder via <a href=\"https:\/\/nnatapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/mere-husk\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0(with a limited quantity of the album and book available as a bundle) and will be out\u00a0January 31st\u00a0via NNA Tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.promojukebox.com\/filemanager_source\/co\/dy\/.d\/cody.defalco\/NNA124-Cover-Digital.jpg?resize=577%2C577&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Ah Mere Husk cover artwork\" width=\"577\" height=\"577\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Mere Husk\u2019 track list<br><\/strong>1.
