White Fence

For The Recently Found Innocent

White Fence - For The Recently Found Innocent

White Fence's trippy, distortion-laced, psychedelic pop-influenced tunes (sounding, in other words, something along the lines of a warped cassette tape featuring The Left Banke or The Merry-Go-Round) are the brainchild of Timothy Presley (also a member of the like-minded groups Strange Boys and Darker My Love). The project's self-titled debut was released on the Woodsist label in the spring of 2010. For the project's next release, White Fence Is Growing Faith , Presley didn't change much.

Julian Lage was interviewed on Weekend Edition Mar. 22. Here's a link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102196138 To summarize: Lage is a guitarist, a composer and a child prodigy. He has not settled on a musical style. He does Jazz, classical and many others, but since he loves film scores he is willing to dabble in almost anything. Carlos Santana asked him to come on stage back when Lage was 7 years old; he told the rock legend, no thanks. Read more on Last.fm
