The production quality on this track is really good. Solid ambient pads and the post rock guitar sound is really nice, did you record this from a cab or are you using plugins on a dry guitar track? With the drums, I think the cymbals sound really good, I'd say the kick sound could possibly replaced for something else, but that is only a very minor complaint. In general, the tune has some nice vibes and the last part is a nice conclusion. The pacing just works so well. It would have been even better if you ramped it up even more towards the end, but thats just my personal preference, since I really like post metal, but I think that would have improved the already good pacing.

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad someone hears the post rock inspiration in my work.
Right now I just record my guitars directly, without amps or cabinets. Plus I tend to use physical effects. I'm hoping to eventually get myself a decent guitar amp mic to start recording live sounds though!
Drums are something that I feel is one of the areas I need to work quite a bit more one. I'm trying to write my own parts now, and I'll hopefully look for some better sounding parts in the future.
I'd agree with your last comment that it could be even more intense in the final section. I'm just not much of a post metal fan (weirdly) so at the time of recording this I felt like I hit my ceiling in terms of intensity, but I totally get where you're coming from!
Thanks for taking the time to listen :)
