Oh, these people: Mieskuoro Huutajat.

 

Finnish Mans Shouting choir.

The moans on 'Paranoid Android'. In fact, almost all of OK Computer.

Pavement shitznat.

Pet Sounds.

everything by sigur ros.

pink floyd - careful with that axe eugene

Bjork's Medulla - Many of the sounds are of vocalists mimicking instruments. On "Ancestors", Tanya 'Tagaq' Gillis sounds like two animals copulating.

TVOTR, mostly stuff off bloodthirsty babes and a few off cookie mountain.

master-dik, by way of the loops in the background.

the skaters
birchville cat motel
a whole lot of other drone/noise stuff.

That.

MIKE PATTON

That is horrible.

It's a wonder it took so long into this thread for any mention of the "moan-wave" set! Several of these artists such as the Skaters almost entirely make their music by manipulation of mouthsounds.

But since everyone's wearing kneepads here for Cocteau Twins, what say you 4AD junkies about the Provisionally Entitled the Singing Fish album by Colin Newman?

Whether she's raising hell or cooing a lullabye, nearly everything by Inca Ore rules me.

Early songs by KK Rampage qualify for this as well I think.

DJ Rick is probably the only person who knows what I'm saying.

vashti bunyan on the prospect hummer ep
some raccoo-oo-oon.

Yeah, she was great on that. I bought Another Diamond Day. It should be arriving at my house in about a week...

Certainly we share a committed fandom of KK Rampage, but I do disagree on this particular point. Early KK Rampage songs qualify only for making a case that these guys are the most improved band of 2006.

I've written extensively about KK Rampage on a different message board today, so I'm kinda tapped out when it comes to further explaining that. But I do intend it to be a compliment more than a slam.

When I think of their newer songs and their early meanderings around the edges of songforms, I generally think of the guitar and drums as being no less than 90% of the driving force. Perhaps this leaves one more area of development for KK Rampage as a band. But even if they continue to make EPs in the mold of Lies, Deception, & Tall-Tales, they will just solidify themselves as a band that has grown from being largely antics-based to a band that can make really good and intriguing songs.

Well, there...I went ahead and explained myself, I guess.

i said that on the prospect hummer ep because that's the only vb i've heard so far, i'm certainly curious about her own stuff.

does lightning bolt count? you can't really make out of what brian is singing anyway so it becomes like another sound in the mix.

another one: monosodic.

I just meant it in the way that their vocals don't seem to have any lyrical content and were more or less just going along and sounding like another instrument. Especially with releases like Friend Face and Anesthetize and Degrade. I completely understand what you said, though, man.

I heard three songs, and I wanted to buy the CD. I really like the song "I'd like to walk around in your mind". Some great folk stuff...

i'll be sure to check her stuff out.
