Tim Presley’s White Fence announced their new album, I Have to Feed Larry’s Hawk, slated to release on Jan. 25 from Drag City. They released their first single off the album, “Lorelei,” on Oct. 23.
White Fence is Presley’s solo project, which he has been making music under since 2010. Based in San Francisco, Presley recorded this album there, having written for it over in the U.K.
“I started writing songs for this album in a small rural town in the UK called Staveley. I was staying with Cate Le Bon there during winter. While She was there going to school learning how to build & design furniture out of wood, I started writing on her piano. Staveley is in the Lake District (Northern England) and everywhere you look is the most beautiful serene British landscapes. Your eyes go quiet,” Presley said in a press release.
“I came back to SF to record… I booked studio time with a very talented fellow named Jeremy Harris and we worked together out of a studio in the Dogpatch district of SF (owned and run by Paul from the UK band “The Bees” (or in US…. “A Band of Bees”). Because I can only play the piano like a 5 year old, Jeremy was able to learn the songs on piano, keys and finesse the parts,including most drums and also record/engineer the whole album,” he went on to say.
