Paper-Thin Heaven

Dark indie-pop ballad with female vocals, close-mic and breathy. Sparse piano and distant pads in the verse, subby pulses and clipped electronic percussion growing in the chorus. Subtle distorted guitars creep in on the second hook, with stacked, ghostly harmonies under the topline. Intimate, almost whispered delivery that swells to a raw, strained edge on the final chorus, then falls back to a single fragile vocal and lingering reverb tail.
