Sounds like Richard Hawley singing for Elbow - always melodic, but textured, quite poetic and sometimes surprising - something like that, but distinctly American as well.

You get the drift: I rather like it.
i've been listening to boxer a lot over this past week and it really is actually quite wonderfully subtle. the voice is indeed superbly used, pieced together by one of the best drummers i've heard in the past couple of years. (it is incredibly hard to make drums as soulful sounding as it is on this record)
