Vocal harmonies that tickle your fancy.
Obviously The Beach Boys are an obvious and celebrated selection for this, to me their material never gets old, it still sounds really fresh. But recently I've been listening to a lot of newer music that really harnesses the art of the good ol' vocal harmony. The Civil Wars are one example, Grizzly Bear and The Pierces are others. Any suggestions of other groups I could give a try/ you've enjoyed?

Fleet Foxes? But imo you have already mentioned the very best exponents of vocal harmonies in the modern era - The Civil Wars. It's like their voices were made for each other.

I love the harmonies by the Civil Wars, First Aid Kit and obviously the Beach Boys. James Vincent McMorrow has some wonderful and very ethereal vocal harmonies on his album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Bs4k5i5BQ&ob=av2e
The Staves also have beautiful harmonies. They're three sisters and IMO you can't beat that beautiful vocal blend you get when family members harmonise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0j8_Lrpd7E |

Wot no Simon & Garfunkel?
Dont think I need to make any suggestions there. Newish band doing an old song The Puppini Sisters - Old Cape Cod http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhSvPf_fxCU And some of the best harmonisers in the business http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhUKF73eRHA Not to everyone's taste - but certainly worth a mention http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH2W7tSGuT0 |
