Which is to say, "artists who should really be popular by now but for some inscrutable reason aren't".

Okkervil River

I found out about Okkervil River from Bryan Lee O'Malley's blog. Their style is somewhat folky, but not exclusively. I've mainly listened to their three most recent (out of five total) albums: namely, Black Sheep Boy, The Stage

i have no idea what style you are into but here are the new artists i started listening to recently (since this year or so) that i really like:

amethystium (good for getting work done)
lesiem (chanty)
enya (not like delerium but will match similar tastes)
roger subirana (thanks to sstangl; is creative commons, and owns)
atmasfera (fast, ukrainian, flute)
magna canta (chanty)
loreena mckennitt (folk songs)
e.s. posthumus (distinct from both posthumous and posthummus)
future prophecy (like mushroom but less distinctive)

some of my older favourites: cruxshadows, vanessa-mae, delerium, afro celt sound system, klezmatics, covenant, thoushaltnot, therion, great big sea

all of this is hosted on maximegalon.
