Annual time for me to ask you lot to bombard me with recommendations of folk-leaning albums that have come out in the last year or so. This is basically a way for me to put a Christmas/birthday shopping list together for my wife. Stuff she listens to: Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, Belle and Sebastien, Noah and the Whale's first album, Kate Nash's first album, Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson, Laura Marling... So not all super-folky then, but she's pretty resistant to anything that bleeps too much. Have at it, and thanks!
