Is there a name for this kind of "harmonizing" where the voices create like a strange resonance together? Can you point me to other songs with similar vocals? I love musical phenomena but I don't know how to even begin to name the things I like

this is what happens when you tune the harmonies to the partials of the overtone series, specifically the 7th partial being slightly flat compared to equal temperament. The composite frequency is amplified.

Thank you, I barely understand ANY of these terms though! Any pointers where I could read more on this kinda stuff to get a grasp? Not familiar with "partials" "overtone series", "equal temperament" or "composite frequency"

here's a fun book, the necessary mathematical background to understand different sections varies widely and feel free to skip around for stuff that looks interesting, the stuff you want is in chapter 4
