I loved the vocals on this. Nice seperation, nice tracking, great performance. This song could definitely handle a more elaborate arrangement, though its good like this.
I would add some reverb to the vocals and maybe a bit to the entire mix. Really go for that nostalgic sound. Besides, the lead vocal is not quite sitting right.
Maybe a few of you remember this. I retracked the slide guitars at the end and the vocals to cut down on the reverb a bit. I think this came out better all around. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

What a cool tune! I love the vocals and harmonies. The song structure is really cool as well. All the little touches you added really worked. Sounds like a keeper to me.
The vocals need compression and reverb, they are not sitting in the mix. Nice song though.
BTW, once a song passes 2:30, you are on borrowed time, so ignore the previous advice and keep the length where it is.
Very nice and original. The drums and guitar are clear and present. The vocal is well up front. Good mix. Sounds like the distorted guitars could have been more "evil", but not sure what you were going for.
Erland - Thanks for the listens. I appreciate it.
lynx - Yeah, I wouldn't have recorded the song without that chord change. Seems to be the whole point of the song.
I hope everyone agrees with the sparse arrangement.
JasonBird - The fingerpicking is pretty dynamic so it sounds like its fading sometimes. Its just the way I played it. Maybe it sounds better played loud. I've thought about it but I just don't hear any percussion on this.
Myx62 - Thanks for the comments. I tracked the vocal and guitars...
I thought it was 1972 for a minute. This is pretty cool, I especially like the guitar. Very Robert Fripp. The drums sound a little hotter than the other instruments. I would bring the guitar up a bit.
This is a change of pace and a darker tune I wrote this week. I kept the arrangement simple because I couldn't think of anything to add. Let me know if you like it like this or suggest some adornments.

The acoustic sounds good but the electric is perhaps too fuzzy and indistinct. Could the vocal be a tiny bit more compressed? Nice singing though and a nice tune. Now you made us all feel like lazy slobs.
