I dig it! If I were to mix it, I'd probably:
- make the drums big, like really big
- take the delay off the vox
- put delay on the vox (16-18ms on one side, 18-22ms on the other side), mix this stereo vox just underneath the main centered vox
- parallel compress the hell out of the vox and bring that back in to taste
- maybe a short, dark reverb on the vox, but just barely there
I guess what I'd be going for is an in-yer-face vocal sound, but those are deceptively hard to get without them just sounding dry.

Urr... This is a pretty ugly mix in several important ways.
I suspect you're going for a lo-fi, grungy sound, but I really don't think it's working for you.
The drum machine is pretty blatant, especially the high hats in the intro. It doesn't sound like a real drummer.
A lot of your levels are way too high (especially on the drums). You're clipping all over the place.
The vocals don't sit in the mix. They're really loud and overtop. The delay on the vox doesn't make them sit in the mix or fill them out; it just sounds weird.
Everything else is pretty much mud.
I'll admit the explosion of digital distortion at the end is pretty cool.

Sounds like me breathing and makin noises at the beginning....
Even with this style of music there should be clarity and distinction to it....Drums are too low...Vocal too loud....
