” 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  on his  different sizes that Tim Presley , either  in Darker My Love ,  Nerve Agents,  beside Ty  Segall and The Men , or whith his   wildly prolific solo project White Fence, with which loaded  a lot  of psychedelic weirdness  in his psych-wagon  on last years. 
 
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.
Below you´ll find works of three from his teams   , each with  different vibes, recorded  from 2000  to now. I personally prefer his solo project White Fence , but I quite liked the idea of posting  multiple versions from him . Check it , will be very fun.
I could go on, but instead I’ll say that Tim Presley  has really charmed me, and I think that you too can happen that…
