Here is "The Herald" from that album...this joint alone makes puts in it my top 5:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOFmc2JF_9Q
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Townes Van Zandt
Joanna Newsom - Ys
The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
Catherine Ribiero + Alpes - Paix - This album fucking rules. Sounds like Nico jamming with an jazzier, less spaced out Can.
Songs: Ohio - Magnolia Electric Co. - Farewell Transmission is one of the best songs of the last 10 years, easily. Goosebumps everytime I listen.

of course, the stuff i return to most might be the post-tropicalia brazilian folk like this:
