This song by a relatively little-known singer-songwriter sounds a lot like some other artist, and I can't put my finger on it. It's driving me crazy.

are you referring to the production style or the vocals?

Both. But probably especially the vocals / melodies.

It sounds like Robert Pollard covering "Sometimes" or whatever that MBV song is called

the first (serious) thing that came to mind was Fun Trick Noisemaker-era Apples in Stereo, but that's not quite right

Gin Blossoms crossed my mind, for sure.

early Apples is a good call, too. still not the obvious one that's eluding me.

bit of a Galaxie 500 vibe going on there?

It sounds like a demo of The Great Destroyer era Low covering an early Pains of Being Pure at Heart song.
