Hi James,
I'm no critic of the style, but I enjoyed the song. Some
comments/suggestions:
The voice placement and presence are fine. New recordists tend to
undermix their vocals when they should be more up-front, but I like
where the voice is in this mix.
The drums are under-recorded. The part is fine, but it should either
have a different sound (i.e. a different kit) or more presence in the
mix. Or both.
Bass could use a wee bit more presence.
I like the lyrics. :)
A little dirtier sound might be appropriate for the style, but I'm not
sure how you'd achieve that effect.
HTH,
dp
