Vilwx Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Been listening to an awful lot of Cocteau Twins lately, an amount dangerously leading me to an obsession with Elizabeth Fraser. I'd like to find more music with high-range female vocalists, with emphasis on harmony. Bright and crystalline. That might be a cheesy metaphor, but it's the imagery that comes to mind. Probably some resemblance to the sound of ringing glass. Post cool music with lovely female vocals! Cocteau Twins - Lazy Calm. Really, several of their tracks, but especially this one. Asobi seksu - Layers Grouper - Alien Observer And to some lesser degree, these: Bjork - Undo Grimes - Genesis ManjuShri 1 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86654-female-vocals-of-certain-character/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilwx Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Maybe I should have titled the thread differently, something like "Excellent female vocals." I don't want this to be too specific and limiting, just want to hear some gorgeous singing. Dead Can Dance - De Profundis (Out of the Depths of Sorrow). As much as I love this album, sometimes I wish it were recorded/mixed a little differently; Gerrard has a great voice and it could be less distant at times. Halcyon+On+On. Obvious, but can't go unmentioned.

Quality stuff! On the most "main stream" side of things Yppah: Submotion Orchestra: Future Brown: Emika: https://soundcloud.com/emika_official/take-theme Great topic!

Also, how has no-one mentioned Kate Bush yet, or is she too obvious a choice?
