White Fence really really REALLY sound like a lost psychedelic band from the sixties. Like they sent their music to the Nuggets people to be added to the compilation, and the tapes got lost in a basement only to resurface these past few years. It's a very enjoyable listen like most of the other White Fence records, but at the same time feels a little "put on." Of course I listen to a ton of bands you could say this exact same thing about, but for some reason with White Fence it bothers me - not a lot, just a little bit, but the feeling is there. Tim Presley, the man behind the band, knows his way around a trippy pop hook though, and based on his release schedule he might have the makings of the next Robert Pollard.
