Fences

Seattle alternative rock/pop band Fences, the alter-ego of musician/songwriter Christopher Mansfield (vocals/guitar), is rounded out by his bandmates Benjamin Greenspan (guitar/keyboard), Lindsey Starr (bass/vocals) and Elliot Garm Chaffee (drums). They released their debut studio album Fences in 2010, which made SPIN Magazine’s year end list of “Albums You May Have Missed”, followed by Lesser Oceans in 2015. Mansfield’s debut EP Ultimate Puke was discovered via Myspace by Sara Quin of Tegan & Sara who recorded, produced and lent her vocals to the Fences album. Mansfield also caught the attention of Macklemore and in 2011 he collaborated with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis on “Otherside” (remix) and co-wrote “Ten Thousand Hours” from Macklemore’s 2012 album Heist. Fences signed with Elektra Records in 2013 and in 2014 Mansfield released “Arrows”, a song on which he collaborated once again with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Fences’ songs have been compared to everyone from The Cure to Hank Williams and they have toured with bands such as Against Me! and Hellogoodbye. Fences released their latest album Failure Scriptures on June 21st via GRNDVW. The album features a guest appearance by Cedric Bixler-Zavala (At The Drive-In/The Mars Volta) on “Brass Band”
