About Fences
"I felt empowered by other people," says Christopher Mansfield, ahead of the release of Bright Soil, his new full-length album under the Fences moniker. "I didn't feel alone. I felt happy.”
The LP, due this August, spotlights not only a time of monumental changes in the artist's life but perhaps his most cohesive album to date.
For the album as a whole Mansfield assembled what he refers to as his "dream band" with lifelong friend Felix Pastorius (son of Jaco Pastorius) on bass and Jeremiah Green (Modest Mouse) on drums. Wesley Schultz (The Lumineers) and Ryan Lewis (Macklemore & Lewis) also add vocals and
production respectively. (Mansfield's wife, Maxine, also appears.)
"I just wanted it to sound cohesive," he says. "With my previous full-length albums I'd recorded them in different states with different producers, different drummers, different everything. For this, we had a room for a specific amount of time. That's it. It was like, 'Lock the door and don't kill each other.”
He adds, "I wanted to get people whose sound I loved so that if I wanted to, I could just leave and I could trust that they'd do their best. Jeremiah has a great natural flow to his playing and Felix is even more technically proficient than his father in some regards. I think he's the best bass player in the world right now.* For guitar he turned to Thomas Hunter of The Heavy. "I wasn't being greedy but wanted to get the best players it as like picking a soccer team in school.”
