it's not very new, and, come to think of it, it might've been you that put me onto it on the first place, but i'm quite fond of Richard Hawley's
Lowedges. and he has a new record out -
Cole's Corner - which i've heard nothing but good things about.
Tom McRae's new-ish
All Maps Welcome has it's moments, but i'd probably recommend either of his previous efforts first -either his debut,
Tom McRae or, particularly, his second album
Just Like Blood
eeeeermmm
i take it you've heard Arcade Fire and Elbow's new records.
also, if you haven't already, check out Khonnor's
Handwriting. it's been out a few months now, but I absolutely LOVE it, and will make the most of every available opportunity to plug it.
