the fuzz-like vocal sound i've most enjoyed is singing through a battery-powered bullhorn, most notably used by Michael Stipe on the 1989 R.E.M. tour. see the chorus here:

Cool, sounded like one of those old phones turned mic you see on etsy...that kind of lofi phantom power/green bullet CB radio sound^ is what got me thinking about fuzz vocals.

Not fuzz but David Eugene Edwards belongs in this thread.

Comesect, my friend, my brother...I hold the answer to your question.
DIRTY BEACHES (this is a less fuzzy track incidentally)

Also, Jay Reatard and THE REATARDS and Ty Segall do lots of stuff with fuzzy vocals.

An awesome REATARDS track but not their fuzziest vocal wise (I'm really on a roll here )

If you can get your hands on the compilation SWALLOW THIS TURD, there are lots of fuzzed out vocal bands.

This is pretty fuzzy on the vocals. DIRTY BEACHES again.

Also, THEE OH SEES.

That dirty beaches was really relaxing, thank you my man

Kind of more lo-fi ish / fuzz ish. As a huge T.REX fan, this is an EXCELLENT cover.

Less fuzz, more over-modulation (another all time favorite artist ).

I like this thread Comesect. Sorry I'm kind of shooting blanks.

Okay got a little fuzz and nasally on the vocal here (I know I have posted this before...sorry).

I'm sure Mike Patton does...I know he bought an 88 from Hiro. None in this though:

Early cabaret Voltaire...earlier has more than later...maybe more tape saturation

Boring typical suggestions


Anyone remember vocal processors with raspy? I remember a kid wanting one to sound like Tim Armstrong which always made me laugh.

Lordgalvar reminded me that WHITEHOUSE does this sort of thing.

And how could I forget...one of my all time favorites...Comesect...ATRAX MORGUE is like the king of vocal processing to the point it becomes symbiotic to his equipment.

Oh, yea! Whitehouse!
