BandOfTheHawk:
I've been a big fan of Iron & Wine for a long time, any sugestions for indie folk?

nescience:
A lot of people will tell you to try out some of the newer "avant-folk" stuff that's been en vogue recently, like Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Animal Collective, and the recent Vashti Bunyan reissue, but I think that if you're an Iron and Wine fan, you might more readily take to 90's slowcore acts like Low, Radar Brothers, Red House Painters, or maybe Jason Molina's Songs:Ohia or Will Oldham (aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy).

Of course there's the Nick Drake card to play too.

Mikendher:
Elliott Smith (Twilight, Between the Bars)
M. Ward (Involuntary, Undertaker)
Nick Drake (Place to Be, Pink Moon)
Sufjan Stevens (To Be Alone With You, Casimir Pulaski Day)

There are song suggestions in the parentheses. There's really no one quite like Sam Beam though. I've been looking for a long time, and these are the closest I've come. I guess it depends on what specifically you like about Iron & wine. Is it his voice, the mild syncopation, subtle harmonies, or instrumentation? Or some combination of those and more?

nescience:
You could also look for help on Pandora.

HEY! I'm the one that's supposed to make that suggestion! That's not very nice. Listen to Modest Mouse and Mogwai, that'll do you some good.
