Step into the mystical world of Scrimshaw Porn's latest creation, 'Edgar Allan', where the ethereal melody becomes a doorway to an unseen realm.
Crafted by the musical sorcerer Nick Helgesen, this indie/pop gem isn't just a nod to Poe; it's a journey into the heart of a sonic séance.
Picture the early hours, pre-dawn darkness, as Nick conjures magic in the embrace of his home studio. The bassline, a simple incantation, beckons you into a spectral carnival, where melodies materialize like wisps of fog. The chorus hook, an otherworldly refrain, mirrors the dance of a young Poe lost in the sepulchral realm of words and shadows.
Co-producers, Matt Ricci and Nick, transmute the ordinary into the supernatural. Real piano replaces the digital, and guitar accents by Neal McCarthy and Trevor Kellum's saxophone, adorned with haunting reverb, emerge like specters in the mist. Influenced by a diverse discography of artists like Dave Brubeck, Carol King, CSNY, Santana, James Taylor, and Miles Davis, the sound is a unique craftsmanship and homage to 80s synth.
'Edgar Allan' transcends the commonplace, weaving a tapestry that blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the arcane. Real-world samples, from the flutter of raven wings to spectral murmurs and mysterious scratching, add layers to the composition. An accidental cry of 'Edgar!' during post-production becomes a karmic feature of the track.
