This James Blake track has this glitchy or granular effect on the vocals and i’ve always loved that.

Could anyone give me some tips on how to get closer to a similar sound for my vocals? I’d really appreciate it.

You never owned a compact disk player? If the disk was severely scratched, or the player got old and broken, it would sound like that.

And boy do I find it annoying and hard to listen to. Now I definitely feel like that 60 years old recording engineer ca 1965 telling the young guitarist:
turn down the gain, boy. I ain't recording a distorting guitar amp.
Sections repeated, simple like that. Too long for granular. Audio editor, cut & paste. There must be plugins doing that. Not my cup of tea though. Keyword: glitch?
