Stayed
Japanese female high school garage rock band, three-piece, Slow to mid-tempo, quiet and restrained garage rock, Japanese verses with English chorus and outro, Theme: choosing not to run, accepting the night, Fender Jaguar guitar with clean to very light overdrive, simple repeating chords or arpeggios, lots of space and decay, Fender Jazzmaster bass, long sustained root notes, very minimal movement, Drums are sparse or absent, if present, soft rim clicks or brushes, no groove emphasis, Female vocals are intimate and calm, almost spoken in Japanese parts, English chorus and outro sung softly together by three female voices, No climax, no release, A quiet ending feeling, staying instead of leaving
