Check out Martin Green of Lau fame. I've been really enjoying his solo/collaborative stuff, and note his cover of 'Laws of Motion'. Very different!
Unthanks are great. Staves pretty good. Someone introduced me to Nadia Reid recently - well worth a listen. Sort-of-folk and fabulous is Tim Smith era Midlake. I eagerly await more music from him, but won't hold my breath.
I'll check out those on your list.
