Uh . . . well . . . just in the last ~14 months, you'd probably like new releases by:

-LCD Soundsystem
-Blitzen Trapper
-Bon Iver
-Vampire Weekend
-The National
-Dirty Projectors
-Okkervil River

That ignores more "established" performers that fit your style preferences well, like:

-Elliott Smith
-Rilo Kiley (or Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins' stuff)
-Modest Mouse
-Spoon
