Seattle connection
Fences is a 4-piece band out of Seattle, and if you haven’t heard of them yet, you will soon. Their 2010 self-titled debut flew largely under the radar upon its release, but 4 years later as they gear up to release their second album, Lesser Oceans, Fences isn’t sneaking up on anyone. Their new single, “Arrows”, features Seattle’s two-man powerhouse–4-time Grammy Award winner Macklemore and Ryan Lewis–and its a blast if we may say so ourselves, so check out the video above. Chris Manfield of Fences had this to say about his huge new record he’s recorded with his fellow Seattle natives.
This music video was our baby. And we raised that baby. We put hella time, love and energy into that kid of ours. Dozens of all-nighters and studio sleep overs to make sure that kid was the best it could be before we put it out into the world, gave the kid some shoes and told our child to run. Run into the world. Show them who you are. You deserve to be free, baby.
