really nice, it reminds me of the Author album that came out not long ago. The production is good as well, although maybe the mix is slightly unbalanced - some of the percussion, particularly the hats and cymbals, seems to prominent. This might just be due to your monitors and if you're only mixing on one set - try to listen to your mix on several different speakers to get a more rounded picture of what is going on, plus you can always use frequency scopes and other tools to tell you exactly how your mix is performing.

Maybe bring the cymbals etc down in the mix a bit and try to make them stand out in more subtle ways using EQ or multiband compression rather than simply raising the levels. Great track, nice one!
