Andrea Liuzza

Experimental Electronic Indie from Italy, he's done film scores, childrens music & sound installations... his 'Countless Ways For Pressing Flowers' is very good, fans of acts like Sigur rós should probably pay attention.

Thanks to Roxy

Wyrd Visions

Canadian Folk artist, his music at times has the same melancholy lonely feel as powerful Black Metal, which makes it hardly surprising that his sole album 'Half-Eaten Guitar' features a lovely Mayhem cover... there's nothing heavy going on here though, just atmospheric Folk strumming.

Bibio

Recent signee to Warp Records, this UK producer crafts IDM/Folktronica, but really just a mix of both IDM [sometimes a bit Ambient] + Folk tracks... but it's all killer, he has a perfect understanding of how to layer his sounds, beautiful folkish stuff.
