Pop/rock/indie - Mix almost done, would you change anything?

Hi Friends.

This is a new song from Turn off your television's upcoming EP.

Does it sound finished to you, mix- and sound wise? All comments appreciated!

All the best from Sweden

Depending on the actual notes the bass seems a little too loud for me, at times. The first half doesn't sound like a band to me but tracks playing along each other - maybe you tidied up your mix a little too well. But on their own, good sounds.

Nice feedback there. Well it is a band playing ofc, trio, but added the acoustics hard L/R when the bass comes in. I though of adding another electric guitar there as well, (or instead of the acoustics) to fill out and glue a little...

Any idias how to make it better? I suppose u mean I have claned up a little too much in the beginng?

thanks again

After "nothing seems to work.. anymore" it's more together. The kickdrum - is it that important for that song? I would push it a little more back, away from the front of the soundstage. The guitars are - for my taste - a little to 'doctored', worked on. I'd get a little more dirt back into them. I like the snaresound, it gives the song more identity. How about letting it ring a bit more, to boldy state that it's an unique sound, to make it less like other snares people heard before? The wires on the underside of the snare ring a little too long for my taste - compression? I'd have them decay a bit faster so it's more percussive instead of a shortly lingering "k-chsch.."
