Music You Should Be Hearing: Fences

I'm a big music fan and I love sharing new music and artists I come across.  So, why not make it a regular feature?

So, for our first MYSBH we'll bring you Fences!

With Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara fame producing your album you're bound to have something special and from what I have heard so far, Fences is definitely something special.

From the bands bio:

Christopher Mansfield is Fences. Don't let the brevity of that sentence deceive you; it contains universes.

Fences is not merely the recording alias of the Seattle songwriter. It is the distillation of Mansfield's entire aesthetic. "I've tried to take everything in the world that I love, and turn it into this thing that's Fences," says the straightforward 27-year-old. Fences starts with Mansfield's life experience to date, and ends… well, when he says so. Hopefully not for a long time. Because right now, Fences is just coming into its own, with the release of a stunning debut album, entitled, naturally, Fences.

Fences has a few west coast dates coming up so if you are able, go check them out.
