Tim Presley is an American musician, singer and songwriter. Presley began his career playing with the hardcore punk band The Nerve Agents. Presley then became a member of the psychedelic rock band Darker My Love. Since 2010, Presley has released music under the name of White Fence.[1] As of January 2014 under that name, he has released five studio albums, two live albums, and a collaborative album with Ty Segall.[2]

White Fence

Presley began recording music in his apartment using primitive and low cost equipment, after his band Darker My Love went on a hiatus.[1] Presley's debut solo album, self-titled White Fence, was recorded between 2008-2009. The album was released in 2010, on the label Make A Mess Records, receiving generally positive reviews.[3]

Presley's second album, entitled Is Growing Faith, was released in 2011 through Woodsist Records. The album continued upon Presley's Lo-fi and Psychedelic sound, and contained a cover of Johnny Thunders 1978 song You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory. The album gathered similarly positive reviews, noting Presley's developing instrumentation and experimentation.[4] The same year, a live cassette entitled White Fence – Live In LA, was released through the Teenage Teardrops label. The cassette was only limited to 200 copies.[5]

2012 saw Presley release three records; two solo and one in collaboration with Ty Segall. The first, Family Perfume Vol. 1, was released on 3rd, April 2012. The album was the first installment in a double release from Presley.[6] The second part, Family Perfume Vol. 2, was subsequently released on 15 May 2012. Both albums were released through Woodsist Records and limited to 1000 copies each during its first pressing.[7] The final release of 2012 was a collaboration with fellow California based musician Ty Segall. The album, entitled Hair (album), similarly followed the same Psychedelic and Garage Rock tendencies of Presley and Segall's previous work.[8] The album was released on 24 April 2012, and was recorded and produced by Eric Bauer.[9]

In 2013, Presley released his fifth solo album, entitled Cyclops Reap.[10] The album was originally intended to be a release of Presley's older work from his previous 4 albums, however he decided to create an album worth of new material. The album again, followed the same production and sounds as his previous work, and was recorded on a 4-track in Presley's bedroom.[11] Castle Face Records released the album in various formats, such as colour vinyl and on Flexi disc.[12] The album received positive reviews
