Do you record in your bathroom? It's somewhat buried in the reverberation. Quite a narrow stereo field too. I'm sure these are artistic choices though.

Sorry about the late answer, but somehow missed your reply.

 

It is an artistic choice, born out of necessity you could say.

 

Fact is that I only have means to record directly into my Zoom H4n right now, which means that the tracks will be 2 joint stereo track, a single track recording, which results in mono, hence the quite narrow stereo field.

 

And I also only have means a editing that single track in a simple Wav editor.

 

I do happen to like dense mixes and a lot of reverb and delay, that is just my production style, and this particular track needed a reverse delay, which was achieved by reversing the single tack, applying delay and then reversing the whole track again.

 

If I had have more tracks I could use in stereo I would likely have used reverse delay on one track and slightly panned it to one side, leaving another copy of the same track more dry and with more compression applied panned slightly to the opposite side, for more clarity and depth.

 

I also likely would have recorded cleaner and applied most effects post production, to get more control over the mix.

 

Though I do think this simple production has it's own charms, and fits this particular track very well.

 

To give an example of a typical production of mine, when I do have means to record several tracks and edit/produce in a DAW:

 

Again a very dense mix, but the polar opposite in terms of being more maximalistic, rather than minimalistic.  

 

Or perhaps something more similar to the style of the track of the OP, but again a full production:
