Iron and Wine “Such Great Heights”
Sufjan Stevens “Should Have Known Better”
Villagers “Becoming A Jackal”
Bon Iver “Holocene”
Junip “Line Of Fire”
Ben Howard “End Of The Affair”
Bright Eyes “First Day Of My Life”
Damien Rice “9 Crimes”
Laura Marling “Cross Your Fingers / Crawled Out of the Sea”
Blackbud “Heartbeat”
Stateless “Bloodstream”
Grizzly Bear “Two Weeks”

Investigating the back catalogues of any of the artists above should give you even more suggestions - though Villagers went more electronic/pop on their later stuff - same goes for Grizzly Bear who went more rock on Shields.

didn't know the Tallest Man was known in the UK, but good to see!!!!!!! I thought he was only popular in Scandinavia. Here in Denmark he's quite well known and sells outs all gigs whenever he tours...
