I like where you're going with this, and I think the vocals sound really good... great delays/ambiance, and the acoustic guitars really serve their purpose here. Sparkly and rhythmic... love it.
Main thing though, and maybe this is intentional or related to the tracking, but I don't think you're really putting the whole spectrum to work. Mostly the production feels really biased toward the mid-range frequencies. I'm not hearing as much bass as I'd like to, especially from the bass guitar, which sounds like it's not delivering much below 125 or so... although this spectral distribution is certainly more typical of the way this genre was produced in the 80s, so if that was your reference and intention, I will gladly shut up
Or does the bass guitar just not want to put out that sort of low end energy? I've encountered somewhere around four thousand bass tracks that simply refused to be meaty, even when I threatened them.

I'm grateful for comments and suggestions. Thank you for listening!
