White Fence- Orange

Twelve years on from For the Recently Found Innocent, Tim Presley returns as White Fence with Orange, mixed once again by longtime cohort Ty Segall whose guiding hand keeps things crispy and outrageous. Between records Presley has never exactly gone quiet, haunting us under aliases like The Wink and Drinks, but Orange is a reminder that no guise quite fits the man's high-minded, cryptic sorcery like White Fence — maximum rock 'n' roll parting grey skies for cleaner living, courtesy of a strange genius who remains, gloriously, at the top of the avant-pop podium.
