Had a listen to quite a few mixes before posting and I was surprised how many different arrangements there were. Love mixing this band as the lead vox is great and the songs are nicely crafted.
Listened to a lot of Natalie Merchant's album "Tiger Lilly" as a reference - hence the fairly bright country rock feel. Left pinched harmonics on the bass at 0.24 and 3.44....50/50 call on whether to remove...

New version, mix_02 uploaded below........had to get rid of those pinched harmonics.....driving me crazy. Also dialed back OH's a smidge
I agree, the songs are great and I love how they were recorded. Like what you did with the DT track. Didn't think of using it that way in my mix, I opted to used it as a reverb/delay source.
There are a couple of moments in the song where the bass plays a harmonic, you need to take a look at those as right now they do make a gnarly popping sound (there is one around 3:44). Other than that, I'd lower the kick some and take the both the overheads and bass down a notch. It is punchy though.
The mix overall is pretty bright, it's nice to see how everyone does this differently for sure

hey whoosh -thx for listening and for your comments .
I wasn't a fan of the pinched harmonics on the bass - It feels like one is left hanging somewhat as a listener....and i agree that they sound pretty terrible. I was going to replace them but figured the band liked them enough to include them in their track list.....and i sort of forgot too ....but for sure, in a commercial situation i would strongly suggest getting rid of of them
