Bon Iver - "For Emma, Forever Ago" (2008) and "Blood Bank" (2009)
One of the big indie hits of the past year. The style is singer-songwriter, indie folk(ish) with a very wintry atmosphere. Sparse and restrained but emotional.
I love For Emma, but had no idea they'd released another album already - I will have to check that out.
I also recommend Emiliana Torrini (Folk), The Shins (Alternative), and Animal Collective (Post-Rock?). Animal Collective are blowing up in the DC/Baltimore area - don't know how well known they are outside the metro area.

It's an EP, four songs.

I'm not sure how you fit that into "Post rock/alternative/folk".
