SEXBEAT are proud and excited to announce the release of new single Green Balloon from WHITE FENCE, the solo project of Darker My Love guitarist and some-time Strange Boy Tim Presley.

As a continuation from Is Growing Faith on Green Balloon Presley casts a hypnotic spell with this strangely compelling and distorted vocal melody to the backdrop of a blissful psychedelic jam.
