Is that what it sounds like - she’ll be working as an artist with wood? She’s going to be a woodworker in residence. It should be interesting.īW: You mention Cate, who is in DRINKS with you. I think it’s interesting, though, for people who don’t know each other that well to do it - being almost forced to be in a room together and make music. It’s a collaborative effort, and hopefully good music comes out of it.

I was there last year when it was Cate and Bradford.

What does that entail? Will there be a collaborative EP from the two of you that comes out of that? But as soon as I was old enough to leave the nest, I moved to San Francisco.īW: You are going to be a musician in residence at Marfa Myths in 2019, along with Drugdealer. TP: I’m technically from San Mateo, which is about twenty minutes south of San Francisco. It's more about the blurriness in one’s brain trying to battle addiction, which here takes place in San Francisco.īW: Are you from San Francisco originally? San Francisco is known as that, and there was a café here years and years ago called that, but it's only a vague reference to it. Then we flew out to the UK to do the DRINKS tour.īW: Since the last time we spoke, it’s been announced that you have a new solo album coming out January 25 on Drag City.īW: I’ve heard “Lorelei”, and there’s a track called “Fog City” in the track listing. Cate rented a place out in the desert to record, and I stayed there for a couple weeks. TM: I did a Ty Segall/White Fence tour, and that ended, where I saw you last. Tim Presley: I’m in San Francisco - yeah, I was gone for a little bit. Curious about his diverse musical endeavors as well as his upcoming 2019 album, we recently had to the pleasure of conversing with Tim about these subjects and others, including his visual art, past collaborations with Jack Name and Ty Segall, and his return to simple, melodic songwriting.īobby Weirdo: You’re back in the States now after playing some shows abroad. Tim Presley is one of our favorite artists here at WMF for a host of reasons: his steady quality musical output under the White Fence moniker, the significant role he played in a crucial era of post-punk mainstay The Fall, and his contributions as one half of DRINKS are three of those reasons, but there are even more topics we’ve been eager to cover with Tim.
