Ash Story

Alt-pop with midtempo pulse, skittering percussion, and a driving bassline; verse stays sparse with close-mic vocal and clipped guitar; pre-chorus opens with rising harmony stacks and filtered drums; chorus hits with wide synth chords, gang vocal doubles, and a gritty hook repeat. Breathy intimate verses, pushed belted chorus, delay throws on the last word of each hook, reversed swells into the drop, bright punchy mix with a smoky edge.
