With his latest single “Olivia,” Scrimshaw Porn (aka Nick Helgesen) proves once again that his music exists at the intersection of raw emotion and sonic experimentation. Known for weaving together introspection and bold production choices, Helgesen channels the sting of romantic vulnerability into something transformative.

The track glides between glistening indie-pop textures and dreamlike electronic flourishes, mirroring the push and pull of love’s uncertainties. There’s a surreal beauty to how “Olivia” captures the moment of confronting change in a partner: painful, confusing, but oddly illuminating. Helgesen doesn’t just tell that story; he makes the listener feel it.

“Olivia” is less a breakup song and more a meditation on shifting identities and desires. It’s proof that Scrimshaw Porn thrives in exploring the grey areas of emotion, turning heartbreak into an intimate piece of art that lingers long after the final note.
