WHITE FENCE SPOTTED IN THE MIRROR

posted February 10th, 2026

Like a lightning strike that travels through time — is there a word for that? — White Fence are all of a sudden cracking again. Orange, out April 24, is an unstill life: a bowlful of killer pop from Tim Presley captured in ice fidelity by producer Ty Segall at his Harmonizer II studio. The first single, “Your Eyes,” is out today with a music video directed by Agathe Rousselle

"Your Eyes" gleams with clean electricity and white (sometimes black-and-blue-eyed) soul. Opening up with gut-punching snare hits, Tim paints romance with sunny guitar strums, rolling the song up to a melodic summit. The power chorus arrives in its own time right after Tim, shoulders up punkishly, muses: "I'm a terror for your praise / Know I staggered after you." Agathe Rousselle's music video captures Tim in monochrome delight, his eyes gleaming back toward us.

Tim offers this post-op 'as-per' for Orange:

“Love/loss, addiction/rehabilitation, and a good long look in the mirror (by way of a shop window reflection in San Francisco).

But also the absurdity of life..... I wanted to sing my little heart out. Sing life."

Swiveling through the jagged, jittery pop sounds of the 60s-00000s, the sharpened focus of Orange’s rock sonics gives Tim Presley exactly what he needed the most: open space to sing it all. In front of the mixing board with Tim (and behind the drum kit too!) isTy Segall, who also produced 2014’s For the Recently Found Innocent. Together — along with some keys from Alice Sandahl and two drum cameos from the ever-righteous Dylan Hadley — they produce a clean and uncrowded space to mount up all the rock ‘n balladry, playing with genre throughout the album like a space-age Kinks.

It’s been seven years since the last White Fence record — a distance that’s left us feeling all the more fonder. Fear not! Orange reveals itself in true blue on April 24, 2026.
