Sky Spring

D minor. Experimental folk rock via alternative country, with architectural post-rock tension. Swaying 4/4 backbeat; steady kick/snare, metric displacement only in transitions and bridge. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, overdriven electric guitar with sustained harmonics, upright bass, brushed kit, pedal steel swells, prepared metallic percussion, amp-hum drone. Verses sparse and dry. Pre-chorus adds suspended metal overtones. Chorus widens with interlocking guitars and pedal-steel bloom, never glossy. Bridge strips to voice, drone, tiny metal hits. Final chorus layers doubles and slow counterlines. Detailed sonics: sharp metallic transients, tape hiss, hidden drone-noise, occasional glitch artifacts, light tape saturation, short plate + natural room, tight low end, stereo. Vocal: androgynous low tenor, warm-dry, faintly weary; close-mic near-whisper verses, slightly lifted doubled choruses, half-spoken bridge, whispered outro; restrained vibrato, light compression, de-esser.
