These ones are, um, I don't really know because this isn't my usual genre, but the store describes its focus as "shoegaze, spacerock and indiepop", so that's probably right. Definitely too electric to be folk.
Let's see--I'm terrible at genre in general, but recent acquisitions that at least remind me of folk include Rick Lassiter (http://www.ricklassiter.com/) (from the CDBaby (http://www.cdbaby.com/) part of the spree), the new live album by Alison Krauss and Union Station (from Miles of Music (http://www.milesofmusic.com)), Kings of Convenience (http://www.kingsofconvenience.com/), and local singer/songwriter/pianist Vienna Teng (http://www.viennateng.com/).
And since I'm... not shutting up yet... current folk-ish listens: Tim Easton, Deb Talan, the Be Good Tanyas, and, constantly, Hem (http://www.rabbitsongs.com/).
