A rarer hybrid: a minor triad topped with a major seventh instead of the expected minor one. It's moody in a very specific, unresolved way, and it's the sound most associated with spy-movie tension and certain noir moments in jazz and musical theater where a minor chord needs to feel unsettled rather than simply sad.
