1. Three Mile Pilot - The Inevitable Past is the Future Forgotten
2. Violens - Amoral
3. VHS Head - Trademark Ribbons of Gold
4. The Thermals - Personal Life
5. Tera Melos - Patagonian Rats

Haven't come across any of those names myself. I just don't really keep my ear to the ground enough - most of the genuinely new albums I find I come across completely by accident some way or another.
And talking of albums I'm looking forward to...
Top 5 artists I'd love to see a new album by soon but most likely won't:
1.
David Bowie [for 7 years I've been checking on BowieNet for news practically every day, and still no joy. Not even a rumour for fucks sake]
2.
Scott Walker [notoriously quiet between albums, hasn't released anything since an instrumental EP in 2007. Absolutely nothing on the news front]
3.
Dead Can Dance [Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry just can't seem to iron out their personal/creative differences, even after almost 15 years]
4.
Zola Jesus [a full-length album - her last one was easily one of my favourites of 2009, so I'd love to listen to a substantial amount of new material]
5.
Bat For Lashes [^ see 4]
^ For all I know, 4 and 5 could have new albums on the way. As for 1-3, there's basically no chance of seeing anything new from them...at least not for a year or two.
