Historically, Sub Pop has been an important player in determining the direction of musical tastes in America (on the merits of introducing grunge bands like Nirvana). On that alone, I think this (currently free) sampler is worth a download. Past that, this is a good introduction to Sub Pop’s active catalog, which includes many bands that are often in the experimental folk rock vein. My favorite artists include Fleet Foxes and Iron & Wine but I enjoyed listening to all the tracks.If you like this sampler, other current Sub Pop bands worth looking into include the Postal Service, the Shins, Low, Lonely Dear, Wolf Parade, the Helio Sequence, Blitzen Trapper, and Band of Horses.
