Good songwriter, terrible voice. Lots of really good songs (Lover I Don't Have To Love, A Poetic Retelling of an Unfortunate Seduction, Something Vague, A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not, are some of my favorite songs ever), lots of crap. Overhyped and slightly pretentious. Those are my thoughts.
You'd probably like Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Decemberists, Rilo Kiley, Death Cab For Cutie and Neutral Milk Hotel if you like Bright Eyes. I know I do.
