Tim Presley is an American musician, singer and songwriter. Presley began his career playing with the hardcore punk band The Nerve Agents. In 2004, Presley founded the psychedelic rock band Darker My Love. In 2006 he joined The Fall, playing on the LP Reformation Post TLC, and while no longer a member, he still occasionally guests on the band's albums. Since 2010, Presley has released music under the name White Fence. As of August 2014, under that name, he has released six studio albums, two live albums, and collaborative albums with Ty Segall and Cate Le Bon.
Presley began recording music in his apartment using primitive and low cost equipment, while still a member of Darker My Love. Presley's debut solo album, self-titled White Fence, was recorded between 2008 and 2009. The album was released in 2010 on Make A Mess Records, receiving generally positive reviews.
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. 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.
2012 saw Presley release three records; two as White Fence and one in collaboration with Ty Segall. The first, Family Perfume Vol. 1, was released on 3 April 2012. The album was the first installment in a double release from Presley. The second volume, 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. 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 respective previous works. The album was released on 24 April 2012, and was recorded and produced by Eric Bauer.
