I liked the direction you took with these compositions, particularly with the second half where you integrate your singing voice into it. I haven't heard much submissions at all where the person making the tracks is singing on it as well so kudos!
That being said, I feel like the quality of the compositions in the first half is held back by what fits with the second half of the compositions and that's the feel of the recording quality. It feels like the space of the compositions in the first half was working against those tracks as I feel like it's way too distant and tinny (Herbalist in particular has some very piercing resonances, and Sequitur feels too distant to sound grandiose). I think the recording quality works for the second half of the tracks (where it leans into the very indie/acoustic vibe) but not the first half.
Otherwise, great work on this :D
