Indie rock and alt-pop with post-Britpop heft and singer-songwriter intimacy, led by a low, expressive female contralto. Dry, close-miked verses sit over fingerpicked electric guitar, rounded bass, and restrained live drums; distorted guitars and broad backing harmonies open into a forceful chorus. Add a second-listen sting through a subtle melodic or rhythmic shift, with tape saturation, short room reverb, and a raw, direct mix.
