most of Current 93's latter stuff is very apocalyptic folk in style, especially Thunder Perfect Mind. Also Nature & Organization, and the UK band Sorrow based on the Piskidisk label.

As far as singer/songwriters go, I would suggest Beck's Mutations or Sea Change. Both are well produced(Nigel Goodrich) and extremely moody. Mutations is from 1999 and has a 60s vibe to it. Sea Change came out in 2002. A truly gifted musician!

If you really want some folky Beck, I would recommend "One Foot In the Grave," with cool production (Calvin Johnson's basement...on a 4-track) and wonderful bluesy-folky songwriting.
