Once in the dream of a night

Cold post-punk - krautrock with sharp edges, mid-to-fast tempo around 132–142 BPM. Tight, driving rhythm section, dry punchy drums, steady forward momentum, no swing. Prominent, melodic but rigid bassline carrying the song. Guitars sharp, angular, repetitive, minimal chord movement, slight chorus and reverb, no solos, no shoegaze, no warmth. Female vocals detached, slightly aggressive, half-sung half-spoken, dry and close, emotionally restrained, almost confrontational. No big melodies, no softness, no nostalgia. Arrangement stays tense and linear, energy through repetition and insistence rather than dynamic drops. Dark, urban, unsentimental mood. Post-punk attitude with discipline, not melancholy. No indie softness, no pop chorus lift.
