"Lesser Oceans aka Fences' second studio album, is the perfect balance of uplifting instrumentation and depth in lyrical content. In fact, it's no stretch to say the entire album is in perfect balance; charm and attitude, entertainment and emotion, desire and loss, male and female. He even straddles the worlds of commercial appeal and off-beat artist-to-watch, with peer endorsements coming thick and fast in the form of feature artists and producers like Jacquire King of Kings of Leon and Of Monsters And Men and Chris Walla of The Decemberists and Death Cab For Cutie. Mansfield has managed to create a fun and folky record within a small space that seems simple, yet will appeal to a wide and varied audience".

Vurdering 4/5.

"The sophomore album from Seattle singer/songwriter Christopher Mansfield, aka Fences, 2014's Lesser Oceans is a rootsy, melodic, and earnest album that straddles the line between moody indie rock, hip-hop, and folk. The album follows Fences' 2010 self-titled debut and, as with that album, showcases Mansfield's talent for crafting intimate, poignant songs that still have infectious pop hooks".
