Suno prompt

A serene post-rock track blending indie rock with high energy and a swung feel at 83 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and sparse dark cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. An electric guitar leads, building through repetition. Analog hiss adds texture, with a slapback delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on simple triad chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

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