Scrimshaw Porn’s ‘Good Girl’ Dismantles Gender Norms with Indie Pop Brilliance

Scrimshaw Porn, the audacious solo project of Nick Helgesen, makes a compelling return with ‘Good Girl’, a track that masterfully critiques entrenched gender norms through an indie pop lens. Released on August 1st, 2024, the song emerges from the echoes of a 1956 manual on ‘good housewives’, casting a sharp light on the parallels between mid-20th-century expectations and today’s rhetoric.

Drawing inspiration from ’80s British new wave and contemporary indie sensations, ‘Good Girl’ is a vibrant collage of musical textures. Helgesen’s arrangement weaves together a dynamic blend of piano, electric guitar, and saxophone, while a tapestry of synths and samples adds layers of depth and intrigue. The result is a rich, immersive soundscape that is both reflective and invigorating.

Helgesen’s lyricism shines with witty sarcasm and pointed commentary, challenging outdated ideals with a playful edge. His vocals, distinct and engaging, navigate the track’s complex instrumentation with ease, delivering a message that is both thought-provoking and accessible.

‘Good Girl’ continues the innovative spirit seen in Scrimshaw Porn’s previous works, such as the *September Surf* EP and the 2024 album *Edgar Allan*. As Helgesen prepares for upcoming live shows, fans can anticipate an experience that is as multifaceted and engaging as his recordings. In this latest release, Scrimshaw Porn not only reaffirms its place in the indie pop realm but also pushes the boundaries of how music can address and challenge societal issues.
