I like the groovy bass riff at the beginning and the crisp drums. The pads at :12 are pretty quirky and fun, but also might take up a tad too much space in the mix relative to the rhythm section. Overall, the sound design here is really fun, and I’m digging the cutesy melodies starting at :38. That said, the texture is pretty minimal throughout, and the climactic section at 1:17 could’ve used a smoother and/or more gradual transition. The arrangement of the piece feels a bit formulaic and rushed, although the production quality holds up well and the sound design is probably my favorite element of the piece. A little more effort on structuring and flow could go a long way towards making this an 8-range track for me. Until then, nice job with the ghostly melodies, instrumentation, and mixing. :)
