Nick Helgesen doesn’t ease into ‘Epilogue’ — he barrels through the door with it. The new Scrimshaw Porn single feels like a system overload of anger, rhythm, and intent, where dancefloor energy collides headfirst with political indictment.
Where earlier releases leaned into foggy piano introspection, ‘Epilogue’ is all forward motion. Built on groove rather than grief, it swaps out restraint for propulsion: elastic basslines, jittering percussion, and a restless pulse that never quite settles. It’s the sound of something boiling over — but still locked to a beat.
Helgesen’s lyrics land like a direct address. There’s no abstraction shielding the message, no poetic distance to soften the blow. Instead, the track takes aim at institutional silence and alleged systemic cover-ups, speaking plainly to victims and insisting on the inevitability of accountability. It’s confrontational by design, but never disorganised.
The collaborative backbone matters here. Matt Antunes brings a live-wire physicality to the instrumentation — his drums feel almost conversational, pushing against the grid rather than sitting neatly inside it. Meanwhile, Matt Ricci’s production keeps the edges sharp without flattening the chaos, preserving the track’s tension between control and collapse.
What’s striking about ‘Epilogue’ is how unafraid it is to be uncomfortable. It doesn’t ask to be played in the background — it demands attention, movement, reaction. In Helgesen’s hands, outrage becomes rhythm, and rhythm becomes a form of confrontation
