The change at 1.57 is a bit abrupt.
It may be that the two new instruments enter on the same side and the same beat.
I'd be inclined to lead in with the steel (?) just a beat or two earlier to introduce the dynamic change.

The mandolin does a fine job...I would've expected the steel to take that role...but busting expectations is a good thing.

Good song. A calm observation of existential dread.
Terrific package.
