Take a compressor to those vocals.  They're a bit too quite.  I feel they should sit a bit farther forward in the mix.

That's a bit closer to where you want the vocals.  I would suggest recording a few additional copies of this track and let the slight differences give the vocals a fuller sound.

Overall I love the sound of this track.  The constant switches between dissonances and consonances are wonderful.

I think it needs some percussion to add a bit of crispness.  You've got the kick in there, but a snare and hats would do nicely.  see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nni0rTLg5B8

I'm not quite sure what the vocoder is saying. Perhaps add in a bit of the vocals without the vocoder effect, or go back and do a whisper track to annunciate the consonants a bit more, or maybe play with the number of bands? I've never really gotten a vocoder to sound good, so I can't quite recommend the right thing to do.

we need to hook you up with a... well, um, a microtonal dance hall opera company.

A dance track in 17-tone-equal. The music continually changes, but is always repetitive enough to be recognizable, similarly to how the song lyrics portray the described relationship. The song represents common feelings of wanting something different and new all the time, but not realizing that this is hypocritical. Music, lyrics, and performance by Stephen Weigel.

Lyrics:
How can I get to know you if you’re different all the time?
How can I be bored when you’re different all the time?

I can see 
we’re just a 
step out of 
sync. 

Anything can be good
Anything that feels like nothingness or surprise

I can be 
fake for you,
hate to think.

I desire your Chaos
On a daily Basis
Symptom of the Pathos
That bewitched our Faces

You love surface-details,
I love testing limits
I’m broken, I’m sick, I
can’t go back to basics
What ruined appreciation?

I… 
can see we’re 
just a step 
out of sync.

We’re in other lands, in other places
I’m underwater, but my breath holds better under 
Stasis.

I can see 
we’re just a 
step out of 
sync.
