The prompt

A restless punk track with explosive energy and a swung feel at 176 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus. A warm male vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and melodic lead, built on simple triad chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

About this page

This is an independent acoustic analysis. Tempo and key are measured from the audio; instrumentation and production characteristics are classified against a fixed vocabulary. The source recording is deleted once the analysis finishes, and no lyrics from it are stored. The measurements and classifications are automated estimates, so use them as a starting point and trust your ears.
