Alternative pop-rock with a driving mid-tempo pulse, tight drum groove, chiming electric guitars, and a steady bass line; verse rides sparse with close-mic lead vocals and restrained backing; pre-chorus opens up with rising harmonies and filtered tom build; chorus hits wider with stacked doubles and gang shouts on the anchor line. Add tape hiss, a short reverse swell into each chorus, and a bright, punchy mix with nostalgic warmth.
