That was my first reaction too.

Radiohead, ..., 

The driving rhythm reminds me of the Doves.

Somebody else said 'zippy'.  

 

Usually when folks refer to so many other accomplished and successful artists in an attempt to 'pin down the sound', it is a positive signal.

C'mon Bill, humour us. Follow this up with some good old Tragically Hip.

Singer Nathan Nicholson is originally from Tennesse, but this could be a rip/roaring Hip song like Fire in the Hole or All Tore Up.

Love the bass on this. Reminds me of basslines from the lo-fi, indie mid-90s

I like the groove of this; very Hippish, I agree. I also agree with the Morrisey comment. This isn't such a big selling point with me, but I know lots of people who love him.
