Requesting music suggestions
12-tone:
Math & Science is what I listen to when I want to listen to The Postal Service but I'm tired of them.
Most of the old of Montreal records are weird narrative style songs. The newer ones have a lot more electronic stuff and vocal harmonies.
I guess if you like people specifically for having an annoying voice you can't go wrong with Tom Waits.
De_El:
Whaaaat noes. Tom Waits its the motherfucking man, I wish he was my grandfather.
For some reason when you said "narrative music" I wanted to think spoken word narrative, like "The Gift" by The Velvet Underground or "9th and Hennepin" by Tom Waits. Buck 65 often has a bit of narrative. Also good are a lot of songs by Nick Cave, particularly the Murder Ballads album (not to say those songs are "by" him, I know they're covers). Granted, that's the whole point of a song that's considered a "ballad"; it tells a story.
If you don't mind twee, Architecture in Helsinki is pretty much all about vocal harmonies (and being super adorable).
And I second the bit about Mike Patton.

Erm, about half of that album is original material, dawg.
De_El:
*facepalm* So they are. I think at some point someone had to point out to me that he didn't write all of them, so in my mind I understated the level of original material, until I hit the opposite extreme. Or maybe I just got confused.
Need something more interesting to contribute...
Oh, ah. Want a challenge imitating voices, try Animal Collective XD
And Beirut, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
lilibet23:
Kate Nash
Jack Penate
(I like the naratives and they both have interesting voices)
For something to try singing along to that's a challenge, also someone I reccomend to EVERYONE:William Elliot Whitmore
My favourite for Harmonies: The Futureheads
Unusual voice: Murder of Rosa Luxumbourg/Tera Tora/Lovvers (Same singer, not everyones cup of tea and quite spazzy....)
For clicky/bleepy/narrative/proper singing all in one & I know this may be totally wrong all obvious, but Minus the Bear, later albums.
