So yeah, I'm just hitching aboard the Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes and fun./Format trains. Can anyone help me out with where to go next? I also really like the Gaslight Anthem

with conor oberst:
Try Monsters of Folk. It's his new project with M.Ward, Mike Mogis & Jim James. Then check out M.Ward's solo stuff as well as his band with Zooey Deschanel called She & Him. For Jim Ward, check out his band My Morning Jacket

On an unrelated note Coconut Records (Jason Schwartzmann solo project) is a good start as well

Not sure if I'd label these as "indie folk" but whatever, amazing artists.

I used an open minded interpretation :-) . I thought since Fun./The Format was mentioned that I could bend the lines.

but yea amazing artists.

Neutral Milk Hotel. Seriously, if you don't know any indie folk, start here. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Listen to it.
