LISTEN: Fences - "Girls With Accents" + "My Girl The Horse"

Back in June, I wrote about Fences releasing their debut album. The self-titled, Sara Quin-produced effort will be released through Onto Entertainment/ADA on September 28th. Fences is lead by Seattle transplant Christopher Mansfield, a "self-proclaimed fuck-up" who crafts folky pop tunes. Mansfield's acoustically-driven songs are achingly sincere and heartfelt; it's the sound of a man baring his soul. You can check out two songs from the new 10-track album below.

 

Fences will begin a west coast tour in a few days. See the dates after the jump.
