Hi,
as this is the first mix of this song I listen to I don't know how much of the things I'm going to comment on are actually depending on the tracks and how much of it is your personal decision.
First of all, this is quite an interesting mix, presenting the song in quite a lofi-aesthetic.
Now I do think that it is a bit heavy in the low mids and also in parts a bit too distorted (backing vocals!). The level balance is not the way you would expect a hifi-sounding mix to be, but it contributes to the lofi-aesthetic and it does work. The only problem I can think of here is that it is sometimes a bit hard to hear the chord progession.
What I personally do not like is the reverb on the guitars. It is a bit too much cave for my personal taste. The drums could have a bit more attack as well, though I am not sure if this would not change the overall sound too much.
