I see lots of Hip-hip, and rock represented here. Both very strong genres with great artists. But lately there has been some very folk influenced music coming out that has a fantastic, dream-like, chilled-out, sound.

What comes to mind is Fleet Foxes, and Iron and Wine
I've also heard Bon Iver is great but haven't listen to much myself.

I understand its not everybody's cup of tea, so try to restrain yourself if you are itching to flame.

i love iron and wine i first heard him when he covered from such great heights for the garden state soundtrack then i just got into him after that good to see other stuff getting a little mainstream other than the rock and hiphop.... and country but wtf likes country?

check out josh ritter, really good up and coming folk artist. Check out the album Hello Starling, or Animal Years, two of my favorites.

will do^

And greenday, I also first heard of Iron and Wine when he covered Such Great Heights. I didn't think much of it cause I liked the Postal Service version mush more. The Shepard's Dog is a great album from beginning to end.

neutral milk hotel-aeroplane over the sea, is a great album. it's indie folk music, but it's awesome
