Well, I saw 'surf' and thought beach boys...then it started and I thought, 'ok, youve gone for the jack johnson school of surf songs
' but not really....
I agree with people - the vocal is not clear at all, makes it near impossible to pick out the tune. Overall, the mix is very washy and hard pick out much....some weird reverb effects?
I didnt pick up much or any bass guitar?
From what I can pick out though; The groove is really nice, and some of the melody parts are pretty catchy; 'ride baby wont you ride baby' (i think thats what you are singing!)
Agree with James about recording the acoustic with a mic if possible. If not, I would pan it away from the centre in the mix to give more space to your vocal.
Dont agree about using wah or flange effects though
I think they are tired, tried and tested. Clean guitars are more surf-pop anyho....perhaps some combination of subtle flanges/wahs/other effects. Personally I think the feel of the song seems original enough and clean guitrs/lightly overdriven like you have would suit it better.
Seems promising, doors-y, with some nice melodic/chord changes. It's just the mix/recording is really getting in the way of picking out the main parts. It's one of these occasions where I cant help but commenting on the recording stuff as it is kind of getting in the way of the songwriting. If you mix it again, start from the ground up. Set all your levels and panning first and just try to get something clear/coherent with only that before looking at effects, reverb etc.
listening again, I like the structure of the song, but another vocal/melodic part than the main 2, or a change in chord structure at around 2 mins could be good as that is when it starts to get a little repetitive...
