We would like to welcome Fences to the HIP family. Stay tuned, you’ll be hearing a lot from this artist in months to come.

“Girls With Accents” is the standout cut on Fences, but it is by no means the only song on the album that fits the description above. The other nine songs on the record share with “Girls…” its penetrating honesty and rare beauty. Mansfield, who writes straight from his aching heart, has seen to the first part; producer Sara Quin (of Tegan & Sara) has seen to the second.
