This guy is my latest discovery, though he has been around for a while.
Seems that he is part of the scene called "indie-folk", which seems to mean music that has a few things in common with folk, but is nothing like traditional folk, nor anything like the folk-rock of Bob Dylan, Bob Lind, the Byrds or people of that ilk. Some of his songs sound a little like his namesake Cat Stevens, while others sound nothing like The Cat.
Sufjan is co-founder of the label Asthmatic Kitty Records, which has released music by a number of other artists in the folky vein, including Linda Perhacs.
Check out this one, from his most recent solo album, "Carrie and Lowell":
