Scrimshaw Porn – Edgar Allen

Scrimshaw Porn’s latest musical venture, ‘Edgar Allan’, unfurls a spectral masterpiece that transcends mere homage, inviting listeners into an entrancing sonic pilgrimage

Crafted by the wizardry of Nick Helgesen, this indie/pop gem is an immersive journey into the heart of a spectral séance, a fusion of haunting melodies and ethereal influences.

In the pre-dawn shadows of his home studio, Nick concocts magic, using a simple bassline as an incantation to weave a spectral carnival. The chorus hook, an otherworldly refrain, guides us through the haunting dance of a young Poe lost in the sepulchral realm of words and shadows.

Venturing into TRIAD Normandy in Warren, Rhode Island, the collaboration between Nick and co-producer Matt Ricci transforms the ordinary into the supernatural. Real piano replaces the digital, and the haunting reverb on Neal McCarthy’s guitar accents and Trevor Kellum’s saxophone emerge like specters in the mist.

‘Edgar Allan’ is not just a composition; it’s an intimate invitation to immerse oneself in the ethereal influences shaping Scrimshaw Porn’s distinctive sound. The track’s intricate layers blend seamlessly, blurring the boundaries between the tangible and the arcane. Real-world samples, from raven wings to spectral murmurs and mysterious scratching, enrich the auditory tapestry. An accidental cry of ‘Edgar!’ during post-production becomes a serendipitous stitch in this sonic quilt.

‘Edgar Allan’ invites us into twilight realms of sonic enchantment, where each note whispers secrets influenced by the unseen, echoing the mystique of Poe himself. In essence, this musical séance encapsulates Scrimshaw Porn’s prowess, leaving an indelible mark on the indie/pop landscape. As a testament to Helgesen’s artistry, ‘Edgar Allan’ is not just a song; it’s an immersive exploration into the spectral echoes of musical genius.
