Hermits On Holiday
DRINKS is the project of Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon and White Fence's Tim Presley. Rather than merge their respective psych sensibilities, they've stripped away the pop fabric to muck around in primitive territory, recasting themselves as outsiders. Hermits on Holiday is spontaneous and free-form, but it rarely lapses into the stuff of jam-band nightmares.
On their wonderfully weird album together, Cate Le Bon and White Fence’s Tim Presley prove that collaborations aren’t always an exercise in self-indulgence
When White Fence's Tim Presley hired Cate Le Bon to play guitar for the live incarnation of his band, he set DRINKS in motion.
The collaboration of White Fence's psychedelic erraticism and Cate Le Bon's nursery-rhyme charm isn't one that initially springs to mind as a natural pairing, yet the prospect is certainly an intriguing one.
