Orange by White Fence arrives like a lightning bolt out of time—simultaneously scorching and icy, visceral and precise. With Ty Segall at the board, the production is clean and uncluttered, giving Tim Presley the open space he needs to fully inhabit his songs. The guitars chime and shimmer with sharp focus, blending jagged ’60s pop textures with contemporary edge. Tracks like “Your Eyes,” “Given Up My Heart,” “Unread Books,” and “Evaporating Love” gleam with bright electricity, balancing rock punch, melodic balladry, and a strain of slightly bruised blue-eyed soul.
Across eleven tightly crafted songs, Presley offers fragmented snapshots shaped by restless wordplay and inventive chord shifts, exploring love and loss, addiction and recovery, and the absurdity of existence. Echoes of The Smiths, Lennon, and a space-age Kinks spirit drift through the album, yet Orange remains wholly its own—turning self-reflection into radiant, forward-moving pop. With subtle contributions from Alice Sandahl on keys and additional drum cameos, the record feels hypnotic and alive: a trance-like chronicle of consciousness captured with diamond clarity, as Presley sets out simply to “sing life” at full heart.
