I keep on meaning to check out iamamiwhoami, despite the dreadful name, because I've heard it is Bjork-esque.

Some other stuff that I love, but not many other people seem that keen on:

Errors - Have Some Faith In Magic (Dancey, post-rock, Mogwai)
The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know (Dark, shoegaze, industrial, Scottish)
Esperenza Spalding - Radio Music Society (Jazzy pop music)
Admiral Fallow - Tree Bursts In Snow (Scottish folky indie rock, Frightened Rabbit)
Desolate - Celestial Light Beings (Ambient, minimal electronica, dubstep, Burial)
Macy Gray - Covered (Raspy soul covers of popular songs)
Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again (classic soul music, Otis Redding)
Olafur Arnalds - Another Happy Day (Beautiful classical, violins and pianos)
Xavier Rudd - Spirit Bird (Folk, singer-songwriter music with a tribal and world influence.)
2:54 - 2:54 (Dream pop, post-punk, The Cure.)
