Suno prompt
A restless indie rock track with high energy and a swung feel at 140 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows verse-chorus with a bridge. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and melodic lead, built on chromatic and shifting 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.
