Title - 'Gary Wilson is Tormented'
Artist - Gary Wilson

For those not following along at home, the brand new album from the twisted mind of weird music pioneer Gary Wilson was just released this past Valentine's Day!

Entitled Gary Wilson is Tormented (out now via Cleopatra Records), it's the most of days to experience the oddly romantic, broken soul yearnings that inflect every note of Wilson's oeuvre!

Gary Wilson is an experimental musician/performance artist best known for his 1977 album You Think You Really Know Me, after which he promptly retired from recording and performing concerts!

He slowly gained a strong cult following during the 1980s and 1990s, and in the early 2000s became active again. His last album, The King of Endicott was released February 8th, 2019.

1. 'A Special Day'
2. 'Happy Birthday to My Girl'
3. 'Life with the Sin Eater'
4. 'The Sin Eater'
5. 'You Looked Cool in Outer Space'
6. 'The Merry Go Round'
7. 'Midnight and You'
8. 'I Married Lisa Last Night'
9. 'It's Almost Midnight'
10. 'Frank Roma Is Tormented'
11. 'Where Did You Go'
12. 'Tormented'
13. 'Where Is Linda'
14. 'The Wind'
15. 'Gary Lives in the Twilight Zone'
16. 'A Sad Town'

Here on his brand new 16-track album Gary Wilson is Tormented, the undisputed King of weirdo bedroom rock triumphantly returns and kicks things off in his usual chatty style with the .30 second 'A Special Day' which bleeds seamlessly into the psych trip of the sing-along 'Happy Birthday to My Girl.'

'Life with the Sin Eater' is another .30 second work of instrumental wonderment and that's followed by the happy hippy vibe of 'The Sin Eater.' Next up is one of my own personal favorites, the dreamy and free flowing 'You Looked Cool in Outer Space' which is backed by the minute long storytelling of 'The Merry Go Round.'

Wilson's brand of off the cuff melodies is symbolized perfectly on the pop jaunt of 'Midnight and You' which is backed by another minute long instrumental piano cut, 'I Married Lisa Last Night.'

The psych dancefloor shuffle of 'It's Almost Midnight' is pure, unadulterated joy to behold, with the musically, and purposely all-over-the-place short 'Frank Roma Is Tormented' up next.

Wilson gets back on musical track with 'Where Did You Go,' before the spoken word title cut 'Tormented' is upon us. The upbeat and jovial 'Where Is Linda' is another solid cut, and is backed by the minute long trippy meandering of 'The Wind.'

This highly eclectic album then rounds out with the fun 'Gary Lives in the Twilight Zone' and comes to a close on the spoken word storytelling of 'A Sad Town.'
