dalconnsuch:

iron and wine

if you ahven't already gotten into it, you should despite what you may already listen too

My Aim Is True:
off the top of my head, check out The World/Inferno Friendship Society.


They have a lot of what you described. complicated instrumentation with a lot of little flourishes, weird broadway-esque vocals, female back up singers, many atypical song structures and narratives.

Max Nova:
Halloween, Alaska (yes, a terrible band name) always reminded me a lot of Postal Service.

Deerhoof generally makes me want sing along.

Few would claim Bright Eyes has a normal voice.

The Nonesuch label's Explorer Series is a fine intro world music stuff.

Almost anything Mike Patton does is fun to sing along to, or to try to sing along to.

I've got to support this. I'm not sure how much of what Patton's done will be what you want musically, but if you want to learn how to imitate, imitate Mike Patton. Because Mike Patton has more vocal range than the rest of my CD collection combined, as far as I can tell...hell if you learn to sing his cover of 'Come To Daddy' with Dillinger Escape Plan, you'll be learning how to imitate an imitation of Aphex Twin.

Inlander:
If you like punk you might want to explore the work of the Los Angeles band X (as opposed to the one or two other bands also called X). The band's trademark was the close harmonies between the two lead singers, John Doe and Exene Cervenka, which sound country inspired but which were apparently pretty much made up on the spot. Actually, "harmony" might not be quite the right word . . .
