#169: New Music Friday, with the artist known as Fences

Seattle-based FENCES, the alter-ego of musician/songwriter Christopher Mansfield will be releasing the Deluxe version of his 3rd album 'Failure Sculptures' on March 5th 2021 via ENCI Records, featuring two bonus tracks. Watch for a BRAND NEW EP to be released this spring. Of the Deluxe album's two newly reworked acoustic tracks ("A Mission" and "God Music") Mansfield says, "Almost the instant you track something in permanence you start to play it differently. You know how stories get embellished, religious texts have a bit of wiggle room or the size of fish your stepdad caught keeps growing? It’s like that. A song is really just a short story. Romance aside, I just wanted y’all to hear me play 'em as is and in that room in that moment. One take with some light overdubs." Perhaps most well-known for his collaborations with Tegan and Sara (who produced his 2010 self-titled debut album) and Macklemore (who he's teamed up with on various tracks), ‘Failure Sculptures’ is his first new LP since 2015's 'Lesser Oceans'
