PHAT and crisp folk rock

[funknickels]

Hi friends,

I've been working on making this acoustic folk rock tune equally PHAT and crisp. Any observations about this mix?

What does "phat" mean in this context?

The mix sounds pretty coherent for the most part. I can make everything out.

It all seems to lean left tho. Your darker, rhythm instruments (electric power chords) trend left, while your brighter, lead-type instruments (vocals, guitar accents) seem to lean right.
I might also check that doubled vocal a bit. It doesn't quite sync with the lead when it first comes in.

I like it. Nice song, performance and mix.

In the first half the acoustic guitar hits me as just a little boomy (around 100 Hz).
