The King of Weird, the Master of Low-Fi Funk, Gary Wilson is out to make Christmas a little kookier this year! He\u2019s written an entire album of Christmas-themed tunes with all new stories of forlorn lovers and tearstained heartbreak, all set to Wilson\u2019s trademark Casio-infused freak-funk that has made him a favorite of everyone from Beck to Earl Sweatshirt. It\u2019s Christmas Time With Gary Wilson is just about the best stocking stuffer any underground music fan could hope for! <\/div>\n
Gary Wilson is known the world over for his unique\u2013yet highly palatable\u2013brand of experimental music. Though he achieved enduring cult status in 1977 with his classic album,\u00a0You Think You Really Know Me, he had been recording original music since his pre-teen years, and even studying composition privately with John Cage.\u00a0Wilson has performed live at venues and festivals throughout the world, including CBGB, the Fonda Theatre, and recently at the Desert Daze festival in Joshua Tree. He has also performed on\u00a0Late Night with Jimmy Fallon\u00a0and\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live! Earl Sweatshirt sampled Gary\u2019s \u201cYou Were Too Good To Be True\u201d for his song \u201cGrief,\u201d and Gary\u2019s music was also recently featured in an episode of\u00a0Narcos.<\/div>\n
Recognized as an innovator not only in the realm of home-recorded music, but also in the worlds of performance and aesthetics, Gary was featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s 2013 exhibition,\u00a0PUNK: Chaos to Couture, which included his appearance in\u00a0The New York Times. In recent years, Gary has shared billing with Foxygen, Ariel Pink, R. Stevie Moore, Black Lips, and Dan Deacon to name a few, and he is the subject of the documentary,\u00a0You Think You Really Know Me: the Gary Wilson Story.<\/div>\n
“Passin\u2019 the dutchie from coast to coast\/like my man Gary Wilson rocks the most.”\u00a0\u2013 Beck (\u201cWhere It\u2019s At\u201d)<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
