San Fermin is an American baroque pop band started by Brooklyn-based composer and songwriter Ellis Ludwig-Leone. San Fermin took shape after Ludwig-Leone’s graduation from Yale University, where he studied composition. Despite being in several bands in high school and even some during college, Ludwig-Leone did not decide to focus on making pop music until the end of his college career. After his graduation from Yale, Ludwig-Leone retreated to Canada’s secluded Banff Centre, where he wrote what would eventually become San Fermin. The New Yorker recognized the musicianship of the entire eight-piece live ensemble, noting their ability to “deliver epic and emotion-laden rock, with glorious and operatic vocals, electronic break beats, horns, strings, and other flourishes.”
The band released their self-titled debut on September 17, 2013, NPR called the record “one of the year’s most surprising, ambitious, evocative and moving records,” praising Ludwig-Leone for his ability to write a collection of songs “as easy to love as they are to admire.” (Source: Wiki)
