Suno prompt

A restless shoegaze track blending synth-pop with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 90 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and shimmering open hats. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A breathy female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead and vocal clarity, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
