White Fence

Taking inspiration from the weirdest aspects of '60s psychedelia and Baroque pop, the records made by White Fence in the 2010s sounded like they had been recorded on the cheapest tape available and then left out in the sun for a week to melt. When the project started out, Tim Presley, who had once been a member of the Fall as well as indie rockers Darker My Love, was the only bandmember, and he recorded their songs in his bedroom. As the decade progressed, however, he brought in other people and ventured into recording studios, which resulted in slightly more polished yet still enjoyably weird albums like 2014's For the Recently Found Innocent. In the last half of the decade, Presley put the band on hold to record solo and with Cate Le Bon as DRiNKS before returning in 2018 with Joy, a collaboration with longtime cohort Ty Segall. ~ Fred Thomas
