LA Rock Trio Fencer Release New Single & Music Video For "Sanitarium"

Fencer, the self-defined garage opera band, is leading a new era of rock music with their own undeniably, dynamic sound. The Los Angeles-based trio consists of vocalist and guitarist Field Cate, bassist Scott Sauve, and drummer Cameron Sauve. Only two years after their inception, they became fan-favorite openers for notable acts such as Badflower, The Wrecks, and Dead Poet Society. Tackling the stigma surrounding mental health and its struggles, Field’s emotive and frenetic vulnerability resonates with listeners to further solidify the band’s electric presence. Field’s synesthesia (seeing music in color), Scott’s vigorous bass-lines, and Cameron’s expertise in self-producing flow together to create an eccentric style that is certain to become rock’s newest novelty.

“Sanitarium” is the band’s first new piece of music in 2022. The chill, relatable track is their first release with Blood Blast Distribution. You can stream “Sanitarium” here and watch the new music video here.

Not only was “Sanitarium” self-produced, but it was mixed by Henry Lunetta (5 Seconds Of Summer, State Champs, Grayscale) and mastered by Zach Fisher (Weezer, Rancid, Bad Religion). Prior to today’s release, Fencer has previously dropped tracks “Junebug”, “Fishfriend”, and a cover of Morphine’s “Buena” — totaling over 1.5 million listens across all streaming platforms.

Speaking on today’s release, vocalist Field Cate shares:

“‘Sanitarium’ was written during the height of the pandemic. It was a time when everything felt so unsafe and I was dealing with significant depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Ultimately indulging myself in a lot of codependency with a significant other, knowing this was a dangerous solution. But it felt really good. I was looking for somewhere to feel like I belonged and that fulfilled that for me. That feeling of safety inspired this song, a positive perspective on a negative decision. It felt like I entered a sanitarium, which is the origin of the name.”

Stay tuned for an exclusive feature with Fencer in the near future.
