How to get this effect in music? (slrpnk.net)

There's this effect that I've heard in a couple of songs. The best way that I can describe it is the way that some video game characters talk (especially animal crossing) where they're speaking gibberish but it also sounds robotic somehow.

Two songs with an example of this sound:

My Head Hurts -strxwberrymilk

Sunshine Recorder -Boards of Canada

For the first one, the sound I'm talking about comes in at about 1:30, and for the second it comes in at about 2:50.

Really interested in recreating this sound. Any ideas as to how to achieve this are welcome.

Edit: found the sound I was looking for. It's called glitch: https://illformed.org/

For the BoC track it sure sounds like it's a granular synth / effect with some EQing in front of it. There are a million granular synths now and I'm afraid I don't have one to recommend, but you could research what they might have been using back in 2002 when there would have been fewer options.
