Here is a first draft mix, I'm not 100% happy with it but would be great to hear your views.

V2 is slightly different and I think better. Don't think I'm done yet though, still have a few ideas to work with.

Hi George - nice mix!
I like the chimey-ness of the guitars and the way the chorus fills out. Good separation and balance.
A couple of things I noticed:

The kick drum seems a bit "unglued" from the rest of the mix in the verses. It just pops out a bit too much. It seems to work much better with the tone and level you have in the choruses, but in the verses it sounds overly punchy in the low end particularly.

There is a buildup in the low mids somewhere (I'm guessing somewhere around350-500hz) that I noticed a bit in the verses, but it becomes really prominent during the choruses with all the new elements coming in. It creates a bit of what I'd describe as "cloudiness" in the mix.

Thank you, apprecite the feedback. I’m definitely not done with this one just yet, more to come next week.

Updated the mix slightly, let me know if its any better.

New mix is nice - much better balance in the verses.

For my taste, the kick could still be a little less "thumpy" in the verse, but it works great in the chorus. The chorus vocals still have a touch of cloudiness - I think the low harmony is the culprit.

Thank you, will give another go.
