Night of the Vampireby Roky Erickson

Died May 31, 2019 - Roky Erickson | In 1968, while performing at HemisFair, Erickson began speaking gibberish. He was soon diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sent to a Houston psychiatric hospital, where he involuntarily received electroconvulsive therapy. Pitchfork wrote of the Gremlins Have Pictures album: " provides a candid peek under Erickson’s hood during his most potent years as a solo artist. Top to bottom, it’s a revelation ... jagged and unhinged enough for the chaos of Erickson’s subconscious to bleed through." bit.ly
