For the Recently Found Innocent is a fantastic-sounding record, the production bringing to life the small details that make it more than a retread or homage. Presley clearly moves to the beat of his own tripped-out drummer…

Tim Presley is a four-track small room wizard crafting lo-fi California sunshine punk for people who loathe leaving their homes. His lyrics are simultaneously throwaway and intensely personal—arid yet uncomfortably precise.
Garnering a huge crowd on the pier, Mac DeMarco blew fans away with an offbeat but endearing sense of humor and, more importantly, a tight band that played a curious and fascinating brand of sunglasses rock.
Presley uses White Fence as a proving ground for ideas that, as of For the Recently Found Innocent, have steered toward the gentle pomp of late-’60s psychedelic pop, rock and folk.
