Evaluations based on sample songs given unless otherwise noted.

favorites
Kylie Harris
Soulful country-blues sound from this Auckland, NZ singer. Her voice is smoky goodness.

rock
The Happy Hollows
Pixie vocals with a hard-rock/noise/indie blend sound. From LA.

singer-songwriter
Hamell On Trial
lol funny (though not exactly SFW) confessional song about youth and drugs. From Ossining, NY.
Tom Hickox
"operatic baritone psychodramas," according to the Daily Telegraph. Sounds about right. From London.

countryish folkish Americana whatever
Ha Ha Tonka
cool honky-tonk rock sound. From Springfield, MO.
The Hudsons
a folk song with momentum. From Austin.

pop
HoneyHoney
Fun radio pop flavored by orchestral and cowboy-guitar touches. From Venice, CA.
Human Highway
crazy catchy melody indie pop. A guy from Islands is in this. Toronto represent.

three non-SXSW tracks you may enjoy:

Ak Momo - “Women to Control”
Bubbly-voiced melancholy. There’s something special about the melody that overcomes the (to me) too girly-girlishness of the voice. download it for free here - hey, it was up on the Spinner blog for a while, so it counts…
Noah - “Mannequin (Overthrill remix)”
Oh so dancey wheeeeeeee
What Made Milwaukee Famous - three tracks from FreeIndie.com. I particularly like "Idecide," a cool rock-electro number.

doesn't this dance track sounds like it's blaring the sample of the horns from the last part of the Cowboy Bebop theme "Tank!"
