This is fantastic, incredible production. Are you on all of it?

Thanks for the lovely comments people! Fair point on the guitar solo, somehow I couldn't resist a workout on this one :-)
greenish: yep, all self-performed and produced

So nicely balanced in the parts and pieces. I very much enjoy the wide dynamics on the kick drum. The interwoven rhythm of percussion and guitar and vocals are very engrossing and pleasing. Vocal phrasing and performance are really top-notch.
I'm into the guitar solo, I wouldn't change it other than maybe pull the level down a little, it just rides a little proud of the surface of the rest of the song. But the energy and sonics of it are great. It feels in line with a Tears for Fears break to me. Which of course is good!
Really great, pro production and excellent songcraft.

Although I like the harmonized guitar solo, I feel the middle part was over the top, especially for what comes before and after; I agree with the choice of changing the dynamic, ramping it up a notch or two, but this seemed like a couple notches too high. But that's just my opinion; if it sounded good to you, more power to ya!
Anyway, nice song, I liked it. If this were played by a musical guest on Saturday Night Live, I wouldn't bat an eyelash. (Considering I don't know who John Maus or Molly Nilsson are, maybe I have seen them perform it!)
