Risking sentimentality
Johnny C:
The Bright Eyes recommendation is very tripled. I also suggest the Weakerthans, in their more mellow moments.
loyalpeon:
I definately second both leonard cohen (songs of leonard cohen; songs of love and hate) and david gray (white ladder; century ends) - hell - any album from these two. hard to go wrong...
Tori Amos (Little Earthquakes; Scarlet Walk)
I'd also suggest Adem and Andrew Bird.
yeah, that's about it for now
Psiogen:
XTC's Apple Venus will crush you. Some days, this is my favorite album ever.
Pretaluz, by Waldemar Bastos is another great one, if you don't mind the lyrics being in Portuguese. The emotion definitely shines through. Gorgeous songs about the decades-long Angolan civil war.
The Dismemberment Plan—Emergency & I. Sincere indie rock at its best.
If you wanna try something a little more...um, deranged, I recommend Van Der Graaf Generator's Pawn Hearts.
Also the very obvious (but maybe so obvious that you've overlooked them!) ones:
Any classic Dylan or Nick Drake album.
Van Morrison's Astral Weeks.
The Velvet Underground's self-titled album.

I agree on xiu xiu, seen live recently...great new stuff coming.

Not exactly the most intimate album in the world, but it is pretty fantastic.
