His voice is like a molten icepick burrowing at my poor eardrums.


But no offense.

Interestingly, his voice is the only part of his music I find to be vaguely decent. I think he really overdoes his "whisper" style, but still, it's kind of warm and inviting in a girly sort of way.

But it's the cellphone ringer-esque blips and bloops that make up his disgustingly cheery electronic backing that turns me away from his music, really. And the pseudo-poetry in his lyrics (most of them, anyway).

I hate Auto-Tune (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotune).

No it's the voice for me. It always seems to sound vocoded but I dont think it is.
Bugs the hell out of me.

Auto-tune != vocoder
QuoteThe following other pieces of music technology are often confused with the vocoder: the Talk box (Sonovox), Auto-Tune, linear prediction vocoders, ring modulation, speech synthesis and comb filter.



though the autotune article says it's phase vocoder but the phase vocoder article says autotune is based on a phase vocoder.


2/3 says it's not so who knows.


also bmsr uses a vocoder and is awesome

Yeah but bmsr's vocoding is heavy and apparent whilst owl's is just noticeable enough to make you cringe.
