I would definitely go for Tegan and Sara. They are twins from Canada. Indie Pop and Indie Rock stuff. I've been a fan for a long time, and you can't go wrong with them from my point of view.
For Indie Folk I would try Sufjan Stevens. He is excellent but also a tad strange in his music. Check out his album Illinoise (Yes, this is not how you spell the state, but it is intended to be that way) It is spelled Illinoise on the album cover, but I believe it is actually Illinois.
