I Have To Feed Larry’s Hawk

Tim Presley’s White Fence, “I Have To Feed Larry’s Hawk” (Drag City, 2019)
I find this very talented guy’s work sort of hard to keep track of, but when he pulls off a great one, it’s worth the wait, and that’s what we’ve got here. First disc is haunted/melodic psych-pop-rock tunes with extra guitar grit, à la Roky Erickson, and they represent a pinnacle of accomplishment for Tim P. in this vein, dazzling miniature kaleidoscope worlds that fit perfectly in your hand. Second disc is sporadic minimal organ instrumentals, like Presley woke up one morning and decided to make a Terry Riley tribute piece while drinking his first cup of coffee, and darned if it doesn’t work, evoking a very nice casual-yet-exploratory feel.
