W-X is an experimental solo project of
Tim Presley, a California-based musician best known as the founder of psychedelic rock bands
White Fence and
Darker My Love, and a former member of
Strange Boys and
the Fall. Unlike his primarily guitar-centric other projects, his work as
W-X finds him experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers, creating rambling, messy free-form soundscapes that recall the collage-like experimental rock of
Faust (circa The Faust Tapes) as well as the blunted beat excursions of
Madlib.
John Dwyer's Castle Face label, which had previously released two
White Fence albums, issued
W-X's self-titled debut in November of 2015. ~ Paul Simpson
