The second I read the post, I thought "Alexi Murdoch." I read all the posts to make sure I wasn't repeating anyone, get to the bottom, and there you are Darkj. Great call.
I have to second Alexi Murdoch as very similar to Nick Drake, but so similar in fact that I might not even recommend him. He's basically a rip-off of Nick Drake directly. For example - One of Nick Drake's top songs: "Pink Moon." One of Alexi Murdoch's top songs: "Orange Sky."
His lyrical presentation is very similar, same stripped-down shoe-gazing acoustics, and sad but hopeful at times. I like it quite a bit, but within the context of knowing it has already been done before.
