I SECOND VIENNA TENG. Vienna Teng is amazing, and full of landscape and story.
My current musical fixation is Abigail Washburn and her band the Sparrow Quartet, who play a fusion of old-timey American music, classical music, and traditional Chinese music with two banjos, a violin, and a cello. It's vivid and stunning and full of magic.
Sarah Slean is another favourite; a lot of her music has 1920s/cabaret leanings, and a lot of texture, even in the more sparely instrumented songs.
I have mp3s of all of these artists (and many more! :p) lying about if you'd like a sample. :) For that matter, just scroll through my last.fm account sometime.
