Any tips on how to get this kind of airy, multitracked vocal sound?

Hey guys!

I listen to a lot of Devin Townsend, and I noticed this really cool thing he does - he gets this really kind of airy, thick vocal sound, which is obvious multitrack, which I can kind of get in person, but it sounds horrible recorded. Examples below:

Is it just about sticking the mic up really close, so you capture all this, in lack of a better word, sibilance, or do you have any other tips?

Thanks a bunch - I'm not looking for a step guide, just maybe some pointers :-)
