@CoffeeAndTv93: (although you posted this like half a year ago) other recommendations based in Bibio, I would say James Yuill (more smooth/poppy/singer-songwriter), Caribou (a bit more 'housier') or Four Tet (a bit more experimental).

I've only listened to Bibio, but he's so, so good. Any other reccomendations from within this tag, anyone?

If you like Folktroinca, you might like our music too... There's elements of the folktronic sound in our music but it also leans towards a darker synth driven breakbeat sound - A true fusion of music..... We've just uploaded our soon to be released new album and just to get you in the mood, there's a free EP which is available to download now (for free!)

As fans of Folktronica you guys might be interested in the Kept Impulses tour that comes to London's Barbican Centre on Monday May 10th. James Blackshaw, Hauschka and Nancy Elizabeth will be collaborating together for the first time in a contoured programme of ensemble and solo performances. These three acclaimed artists will be on stage together throughout, first performing on each other’s songs in an intimate musical conversation, before being joined by a chamber orchestra (directed by David Coulter and featuring multi-instrumentalist Thomas Bloch and harpist Julia Thornton) to play specially-commissioned arrangements of their material. For further information and tickets follow the link http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=10071

I feel that electrofolk sounds much better than folktronica
