Hi Frej,
I get what you like with the "warm" style of mixing, I was in that camp for many years too. But the problem is that the mix sounds a bit like the vocal is "stuck in glue" if you know what I mean. Since Kat Wright is the name of the project, then Kat Wright should be up front in the music too, at least that's my perception. Maybe try of your warm space but with a big ol' candle glowing in the center (that would be Kat). At any rate there is still too much midrange buildup, and the bass drum sustain is a bit too long IMO because it basically hides the bass. That'S my other critique, the bass is not audible--what notes are being played? You should work to bring some more separatation to the bass drum and bass guitar. The electric guitar is also a bit too low for my taste, it's essential for the rhythmic drive.
