[SEVEN QUESTIONS IN HEAVEN] Tim Presley of White Fence

Upon being presented the opportunity to interview Tim Presley, the one-man in the one-man lo-fi psych-pop outfit , I went about my usual, professional pre-interview research methods: re-listening to the latest album Cyclops Reap, reading various articles about the band, and most important to my process, carefully scrolling through Tim’s Instagram. The album is of course amazing, the articles are moderately interesting (especially if you like the words “prolific” and “Ty Segall”), but the real discovery here is that the coolest thing about Tim Presley is in fact his cat, Clifford Presley.

Please observe:

 

I tried to secure an interview with Clifford but as of this publication, his representatives asserted he was too busy with as-yet-undisclosed projects to schedule any time for press. Thus, all we were able to get you was Tim.
