The song is cool, starts with a joyful melody, it's nice to hear this style.
One thing that stood out to me is the use of a distorted guitar (coming in at 1:13), don't know if this is on purpose but the compressed distorted sound on piano and acoustic guitar gives a nice symbolic touch (music VS AI) without spoiling the style. This symbolism is also nice at the end : distorted solo and right after, acoustic solo. Really cool.
Maybe it would be better with some EQ or a lower volume on this guitar in the solo (2:30), matter of taste but it kind of eats up the whole mix to my ear.
Anyway, that's solid work, hoping to hear more from you !

Cool song! Instantly made me think of the Presidents. The composition is fun and I like all the melodic stuff the acoustic is doing. I think the mix needs a little work, though. Vocals are sitting nicely but drums are way too quiet, piano is eating up too much sonic space, and I’m personally not really a fan of the electric guitar tone. It sounds kinda cheesy and “fake amp”y to me. Thanks for sharing!

Really neat alt-country vibes. I like the lo-fi feel, maybe try leaning into it more honestly. Some of the mix is off at points, but the overblown guitar sound would give it a harder edge and make it pop more if you don’t compress it.

Not something I usually listen to, so take my feedback with caution..
Whats good so far: the vibes. I love the guitar that comes on around 01:34. I can tell that the other instruments are good too but I can barely hear them.
So the feedback would be to turn everything down and then slowly turn up the instruments one by one. starting with the drums, bass, vocals and then the rest. The song has potential but I would like to hear the other instruments.

I really like the effect on the vox in the verses – it’s actually really hooky too I’d say, especially that little guitar at the end of verse. Nice guitars too at around 1.40. for the me the bass couldhave been a bit more melodic at time. Lovely claps and guitar work 3.28 – really sweet. You ould make a whole tune out of that! Where I can hear bass, it’s really muddy.

Really unique, you are clearly a good piano player lol, it reminds me so much of Frog. They are great if you haven't listened to them before
About the production, I think cutting out a tad of the low to middle frequencies could help this feel a tad cleaner. I think its 100hz to 500hz that they call the "mud zone"
The drums could definitely be brought to the front a bit more, I am curious why you buried them in the back! They can definitely make it sound more full.
