I'm very interested in hearing this kind of music. I just love traditional sounds injecting newer trends in music. Your description of Mariee Sioux already caught my attention, so I went and checked some of her songs on you tube. One word: beautiful! Native sound is present, but not overbearing, just right. Although I wouldn't mind if it were more present, 'cause, for me, it brings some distant world, but at same time reveals something familiar. I guess, all great folk music does that.
I'll check the other band you mentioned and get back. It also sounds pretty interesting.
