Stranger in the Pines

Alt-rock with a stalking mid-tempo pulse, tight palm-muted guitars, tom-heavy drums, and a prowling bassline; verse stays bare and tense, pre-chorus opens with rising harmonies and a snare climb, chorus hits hard with stacked gang vocals on the hook; bridge drops to a lone guitar and close-mic vocal before the last chorus slams back with octave bass, sharp delay throws, and bark-like ad-libs. Bright-but-gritty mix, close and dangerous.
