Good evening, Dave! I haven't tried this one (or listened to any more mixes, even), so I won't be much help, but whatever.
Basic drum kit sounds killer and I'd never know there are sample triggering at all if you didn't say. It reminds me of early Suede's drum sound which I've always craved for:

Toms ain't impressive (especially the hitom panned left), but they do their job. Bass gels great too.
The mix doesn't feel swampy or distant at all, reverb choices are just spot on. If only, I'd say that short leading vocal passage is a little dry and lowend lacking, it could use some "studio magic" to help make it more imposing. I'm not a fan of twin panned guitars, but it works here with this unconventional structure, though I'm thinking what would happen if you make the guitars more mono for the amount of time the backing vocals are doing their thing, and then back to stereo when the LV comes in.
I may have dived too much into the nitpicking, whatever... this is some pro, song-fitting mix. I can't imagine the band not liking it.
