Jason Anderson's Wolf Colonel specialised in lo fi nuggets of beautifully observed pop and recorded 3 albums for K between 99-2002. Jason then went solo and became slightly more polished remaining with K until 2008 and is still releasing albums in 2022.  If you get the chance, and you probably will, go and see this guy, let him stay at your house, give him a lift somewhere in your car, and talk to him about Steely Dan.
