Nice track :-)
... listening on laptop speakers here, so I might miss som details, but,
perhaps using pvswarp with scaling and perhaps some slight shifting
too, both upwards of course.
I've noticed that you can make nice phaser-like effects by modulating
the scale and shift with an lfo.
It might sound as if the formant warping in the track is slightly
envelope dependent (?), like an auto-wah-phaser, that might be
arranged by mapping an envelope follower to the pvswarp scale and
shift. Just small deviations I would guess.
Feels like shooting in the dark listening on these speakers, but
perhaps it is somewhere in the right ballpark at least :-)

Yes, very nice.
It sounds 'Ducky' to me, so probably pitch shifting without formant
correction, mixed with subtle reversing of the same. I seem to hear a
similar effect in some guitar licks.

I'm not convinced there are necessarily pvocish or pitch-shiftish things 
going on there (I doubt he is a closet Csound user!). He has the 
"advantage" of a quality of voice suggestive of high mileage (smoking?) 
without the interference of vocal trainers. There is enough pitch wobble 
to suggest that if Autotune is being used, it is not being used to "fix" 
the tuning; maybe just to smooth things out a bit (so tantamount to a 
sort of spectral smoothing operation). There is one way or another major 
bass cut, as if to utterly remove any suggestion of proximity effect 
from singing 1 mm from the microphone, plus some sharp possibly 
multiband eq (possibly with some added m/b compression) which has the 
effect of taking out much of the "body" of the voice, and highlighting 
the high buzzy formant; sort of how Kermit might sing after a ~really~ 
rough night out. :-)

Interesting! Starts out and seem mainly pentatonic; so my question is 
whether (for example) the "blue" note at 3'18" (which fits the chromatic 
scale but no the pentatonic scale) is by accident or design? Ditto the 
nice if brief M6th at 3'36". Sadly, I don't know the BD original...
