These guys are real cool, as much as I hate to admit it. I've been slowly getting more and more into their catalogue.

They hinge around fictional storytelling and fantasy elements, so if that's a turn off for you, it may be good to pass on them, as their lyrical content almost always follows a narrative.

Here's "The Mariners Revenge Song", which is a really cool story, and is captivatingly dramatic and grand. Not to mention a pretty damn catchy melody and fun instrumentation.

They are catchy, dramatic, and have a pretty big sound for a folk band. Pretty easy listening if that's what yer into

Note: Most of their songs are pretty dark and nihilistic. Its not traditional fantasy, think Game of Thrones, but in music.
