” If you like rock n’ roll, then just put your own spin on it and you’ll be free.”
Tim Presley
Couldn’t think of a better man which is fastened the belt out garage rock that Tim Presley , either in Darker My Love , Strange Boys, beside Ty Segall and The Men , or whith his wildly prolific solo project White Fence, with which has a lot of psychedelic weirdness in the psych-wagon this year, in which are back with Family Perfume, an hypnotic double album of their own , Hair, a collab LP with Ty Segall, and if just wasn’t enough, Green Balloon, a new 7”, only on one month, all these to feast our ears .
Born as a solitary, bedroom venture, Presley says White Fence “was a way for me to do what I like about music. Write and record it.”
Since beginning this project in 2009 until now ,Tim had written and recorded two albums, White Fence and Is Growing Faith , which have seen praise both in the blog world like in from of lot contemporaries musicians .
Essentially, White Fence is the best parts of 60s style psych-garage-pop San Francisco, British invasion, and 90s indie lo-fi all at once, with melodies that imprint themselves on your brain, what forces me be a Presley’s fan.
This is a different sort of music , one that incorporates garage nostalgic elements, washed out psych vocals , and some pop-music hooks. Borrows from lo-fi , garage pop and psych styles nearly equally and the result is this sort of an attractive blend , no doubt, Tim Presley is another artist that works in those lo-fi genres which I so very fondly enjoy, and does so in a unique style.
I could go on, but instead I’ll say that White Fence has really charmed me, and I think that you too can happen that…

Awesome post. Many thanks.
Hello,
I’ve been following your blog for some time now and I want to thank you for all the awesome music you’ve shared with us.
The links of some of these albums have expired on zippyshare and I read somewhere that you can just reupload them if that happens.. Could you do that? It would be great.
Thanks!
Oh yes, please please reupload Is Growing Faith on zippyshare! Would be fantastic as I am searching incessantly for this album.
Thanks a lot
Greetings from Mexico
