Suno prompt

A tender indie rock track blending shoegaze with high energy and a swung feel at 146 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A gritty male vocal delivers a raw and unpolished performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a wide stereo chorus on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and melodic lead, built on suspended 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.
