I recently heard Alexi's song "All My Days" at the opening of, of all things, the movie "Real Steel" (watched in a moment of weakness, but surprisingly good). I'd never heard him before, but I immediately heard, not Nick Drake necessarily, but early John Martyn, a close friend of Nick Drake, another Scotsman, and a hell of a singer and guitar player. If you're looking for a similar style to Alexi, check out John Martyn's earlier work. I'd recommend the album "Solid Air" and earlier work. John's work spanned several decades, and I'm sure was(is) on Alexi's frequent play list. John's album "Solid Air" is my favorite album of all time, since it first came out in 73, and I've worn out several copies over the years. Thank god for digital.Alexi's work reminds me a lot of the reasons why I found John's work so compelling, and I look forward to hearing more from Alexi in the future. Alas, John Martyn, who penned the song "Solid Air" as a tribute to his friend Nick Drake, died in 2009.
