NY Times
" ... successfully jumped between new wave synth spasms, soundtrack jazz and skronk, James Brown pep, noise collage, pre-Prince strut, and the Jonathan Richman School of Painfully Geeky Lyricism ... "
Pitchfork
"...smooth-yet-quirky ditties with vague tinges of Steely Dan jazziness and a hefty dose of obsessive-compulsive emotional damage... "

The enigmatic Gary Wilson emerged from New York's DIY movement with 1977's proto-New Wave masterpiece You Think You Really Know Me, an extraordinary record which has been known to suck unprepared new listeners in like a drug and never let go. Shortly after its limited release its creator simply vanished.
In the 25-year wake before he was found again, Gary's small-town opus had spread by word-of-mouth and indie radio to inspire a whole new generation of musicians and producers with his bizarre songs and personal musical vision. His cult following includes (not only you and all your friends, but) Beck, who shouts him out in"Where It's At (Two Turntables And A Microphone) ", The Roots' ?uestlove, Simpsons creator Matt Goening, and of course, Stones Throws Peanut Butter Wolf (who championed his own Stones Throw release, the infectious spacial-funk that is the'Mary Had Brown Hair' album).
The re-release You Think You Really Know Me in 2002 won him accolades in The New York Times and culminated in select sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles. Gary Wilson has continued making music in the years following his"disappearance. " His music continues to chronicle his obsessions and angst that his followers would expect from him. His songs have been compared to everything from Prince to Talking Heads bursting with electro-funk, synth rock, lounge, soul, and avant-garde jazz.
A longtime in the making, the incredible documentary, "You Think You Really Know Me: The Gary Wilson Story" - the new DVD/CD released from Plexifilm in'08 is well worth the wait and deserves shelve space next to your copies of'The Last Waltz', 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston', and'We Jam Econo'.

PERFUMEMAN
A pre-music, post-something pop duo with questionable aesthetic sensibilities, Perfumeman gravitates towards the stage like a lunar moth to a lamp.
Perfumeman's origin story is predictably dull. Morgan and Charles met over a game of Settlers of Catan one summer afternoon in 2011, and within a few days they were on the other side of the country together. Beginning with a simple acoustic set-up, they have since managed to add, subtract, add, and subtract increasingly convoluted hardware which allows them to create distinct and complicated noise.
Complex yet oddly accessible melodic vocals, sharp cello loops, driving bass beats, and the occasional scream punctuate Perfumeman's music. They sing of love, exorcism, gender bending, and not worrying. The layers of cello combined with Charles' crooning voice give Perfumeman a deep texture like a dank echoing cavernous hole in the earth.
The band is currently working on full-length album and a four song Acoustic EP. The album is themed on thievery. The EP will be released in the spring, the album in the summer; in the fall the pair will embark on a 60+ day North American tour.
Perfumeman's performance style varies depending on their members' moods. Sometimes it's loud and aggressively friendly; other times they play sheepishly in the corner of coffee shops. Either way, it's guaranteed they'll play'with all sorts of energy.'
In 2012 the band released a nine song cassette, I Want To Get To Know You. They exaggerated the fashionable lo-fi style, sacrificing sound quality. Morgan stubbornly insisted that each cassette be recorded individually and direct-to-tape: 'Each tape is a unique performance, for better or worse.' It was a limited run of 50, and each case is hand-painted with a toothbrush. Perfumeman completed a 46 day, 46 show North American tour in the summer of 2012 in support of the cassette.
Charles grew up with no exposure to music other than his own. His head is swimming with melodies, and he uses musicians to express them. His indispensable creative strength is knowing when to have his band mates stop playing, whittling their parts down from the overcrowded song-sphere they start with. Charles is credited with singing vocals, playing percussion, and programming the outdated drum sequencer.
Morgan has a classical background and was raised on an overdose of 80s country music. She excels at connecting with the metronome, and can only really play a piece'once I know how it goes.' Morgan is credited with playing cello, singing vocals, hitting the snare drum, and controlling the loops.
So which one of them is Perfumeman? It's hard to say. All we know for sure is that Perfumeman is a band, and he makes music.
