W-X

W-X, “W-X” (Castle Face, 2015)
Side project from Tim Presley of White Fence. Sounds like a side project, too – lots of doodling, general fragmented quality, etc. Still, Presley is a very inventive dude; his doodles range from diverting to genuinely excellent, and it’s dotted with garage-punk nuggets that measure up to his highest standards. As White Fence gets more like a normal rock band, this recaptures the wacky, tossed-off quality of his earlier work, and adds a low-tech electronics element that takes Presley someplace new and intriguing.
