You might also want to check out some folk inspired stuff along the lines of Iron and Wine, The Decemberists or Elliot Smith (those 3 are very different sounding, but I'm confident in calling them kind of folky)

Yes, definitly check out all those post-rock bands as well. Godspeed is my favorite, but the rest are damn good as well.
In addition to the three artists he mentioned, Nick Drake, Death in June, Current 93, and Sol Invictus also make some badass folk music. If you like folk with a darker sound (like I do) then definitly check out Agalloch and Ulver (from my first post).
Definitly check out Death in June. I've only heard one release from them (it was with Boyd Rice, but I'm not sure of the title) and it's very different and very good. The best song to get a feel for them is probably Black Sun Rising. Each song has a little spoken word story told over it, which gives the music a very unique feel.
