Requesting music suggestions
Thrillho:
Kate Nash has a voice, yes. A speaking voice. She talks. It's a spoken word album set to music. If she told more jokes it could be a stand-up album.
I hate Kate Nash.
In the immortal words of a big black guy, via Billy Bailey, 'Sing, bitch.'

(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.
--- End quote ---
Lovvers are ex-Murder Of...? I never realised. I loved that first album but I wasn't so keen when they stopped spazzing out after the line-up change and went all Joan Of Arc. Not nearly as much fun.
You really can't go wrong with William Elliot Whitmore and the Futureheads first album.
lilibet23:
Yup, Sean, same singer...the guitarist is ex army of flying robots as well...
Oh and I'm sick of people ragging on Kate Nash, yes that one song got annoying, but the fact is she uses her voice in interesting and entertaining ways, she is also good live, I saw her at a VERY varied festival (Gallows to Kano to Blonde Redhead to The Cribs to Lethal Bizzle to, well Kate Nash....) She was without question one of the best acts I saw, Bob Dylan never really sang, didn't stop him! (Not that I'm actually comparing, just saying like....) :|
ledhendrix:
Hendrix was finally convinced that he could sing and get away with it after he saw Bob Dylan singing. I thought that was great.
Joseph:
Sunset Rubdown, Destroyer, Frog Eyes, and Neutral Milk Hotel will all fit in with lyrics which are off the norm, frequently narrative, and voices that are different from the narm in music. If you're feeling more adventurous, you could try Current 93. Or maybe Owls/Joan Of Arc?
Bruce Springsteen is as wonderful as you are going to find anywhere when it comes to narratives in lyrics. Tom Waits could work wonderfully for this as well.
Maybe Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, or any other Will Oldham project?
