San Fermin (band)

San Fermin took shape after Ludwig-Leone's graduation from Yale University, where he studied composition.{{cite web|last=Gurrie|first=Samantha|title=Life's Opera|url=http://us.aritzia.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Aritzia_US-Site/default/Page-Show?cid=i21-ea-san-fermin|publisher=Aritzia|access-date=20 November 2013}} While still in college, he assisted composer Nico Muhly, known for his work with Anohni and the Johnsons, Sufjan Stevens, and Grizzly Bear, on several film scores and operas. 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: "I put on a concert with some new pieces I had written for female singers, and then we ended the night with some pop tunes from the band, for which I made these totally over-the-top arrangements. It was then I realized that I could bring these things together."{{cite web|last=Bell|first=William|title=San Fermin - Interview|url=http://www.bowlegsmusic.com/features/interviews/san-fermin-interview-31740|publisher=Bowlegs|access-date=20 November 2013|date=1 July 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005064006/http://www.bowlegsmusic.com/features/interviews/san-fermin-interview-31740|archive-date=5 October 2013}}

After his graduation from Yale in 2011, Ludwig-Leone retreated to Canada's secluded Banff Centre, where he wrote what would eventually become San Fermin.{{Cite web|date=2012-12-07|title=From The Horse's Mouth: Ellis Ludwig-Leone (San Fermin) on San Fermin|url=http://ghettoblastermagazine.com/from-the-horses-mouth-ellis-ludwig-leone-san-fermin-on-san-fermin/|access-date=2019-06-29|website=Ghettoblaster Magazine|language=en-US}} He subsequently returned to New York and began recording what he intended to be a standalone project, completing the recording sessions during July 2012.{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/san-fermin-mw0002562752|title=San Fermin - San Fermin {{!}} Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=AllMusic|language=en-us|access-date=2019-06-28}} It features performances by 22 musicians, including vocals from Ludwig-Leone's longtime collaborator Allen Tate, as well as Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius.

San Fermin released their lead single "Sonsick" on December 4, 2012,{{Cite web|url=https://beatsperminute.com/media/track-premiere-san-fermin-sonsick/|title=Track Premiere: San Fermin - "Sonsick"|website=Beats Per Minute|date=4 December 2012 |access-date=2019-06-29}} which Pitchfork gave a positive review, declaring the song "deliriously infectious."{{cite web|last=Snapes|first=Laura|title=San Fermin: "Sonsick"|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15457-san-fermin-sonsick/|website=Pitchfork|access-date=2019-06-29|date=15 May 2013}} After debuting the record live in December, Ludwig-Leone received a record deal offer from Downtown Records that made him reconsider the scope of the San Fermin project.{{Citation|last=San Fermin|title=No Promises - Official San Fermin Documentary|date=2019-05-24|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKeG05ukWlU|access-date=2019-06-29}}{{Cite web|date=April 26, 2013|title=Ellis Ludwig-Leone '11: Songwriter, Bandleader, Fan of Hemingway|url=https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2013/04/26/ellis-ludwig-leone-11-songwriter-bandleader-fan-of-hemingway/|access-date=2019-06-29|website=yaledailynews.com|language=en}} The full record was intended to be self-released in February 2013, but, after signing to Downtown Records, the release was pushed back first to June then to the September of that year.

San Fermin released their first album San Fermin on September 17, 2013, to positive reviews. 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."{{cite web|last=Thompson|first=Stephen|title=First Listen: San Fermin, 'San Fermin'|url=https://www.npr.org/2013/09/08/219367757/first-listen-san-fermin-san-fermin|publisher=NPR|access-date=20 November 2013|date=8 September 2013}} Pitchfork also gave the album a positive review.{{cite web|last=Larson|first=Jeremy D.|title=San Fermin: San Fermin|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18500-san-fermin-san-fermin/|website=Pitchfork|access-date=20 November 2013|date=30 September 2013}} The album reached #18 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers album chart.{{cite web|title=San Fermin – San Fermin : Awards : AllMusic|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/san-fermin-mw0002562752/awards|publisher=All Media Network, LLC|access-date=13 December 2013}}

The first live performance of San Fermin was on December 19, 2012, at Piano's in New York City; the performance featured sixteen musicians including Ludwig-Leone. In the months following, the line-up and size of the band shifted; by Fall 2013, the collective settled as an eight-member touring group made up of both musicians who helped record San Fermin, including Tate, trumpeter John Brandon, and saxophonist Stephen Chen, as well as newly recruited members, namely vocalist Rae Cassidy, guitarist Tyler McDiarmid, percussionist Michael Hanf, and violinist Rebekah Durham.{{cite web|last=Mueller|first=Matt|title=San Fermin a band of characters, about characters|url=http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/sanfermin.html?35263|website=On Milwaukee|access-date=20 November 2013|date=23 September 2013}} Eliza Bagg also toured as a violinist for the group during 2013.

While Cassidy's voice and style was a departure from those of the women of Lucius on the record, her interpretations of the songs have been praised by numerous critics, including Paul Krugman of The New York Times.{{Cite web|last=Krugman|first=Paul|date=November 8, 2013|title=N/A|url=https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/08/fr|access-date=|website=New York Times}} 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."{{cite magazine|title=Going On About Town: Nightlife - San Fermin|url=https://www.newyorker.com/arts/events/nightlife/san-fermin-music-hall-of-williamsburg|magazine=The New Yorker|access-date=11 December 2013|date=9 December 2013}}

On November 13, 2013, the eight-piece released a live EP Live At The Advent Lutheran Church NYC as a stripped-back companion to their debut album.

In April 2014, Cassidy left the band to focus on her solo career and was replaced by Charlene Kaye.{{cite web|last=Levy |first=Piet |url=http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/musicandnightlife/milwaukee-native-rae-cassidy-quits-buzz-band-san-fermin-b99241526z1-254213981.html |title=Milwaukee native Rae Cassidy leaves buzz band San Fermin |publisher=Jsonline.com |date=2014-04-07 |access-date=2015-06-03}}

San Fermin's next studio project is The Cormorant. The Cormorant consists of two full-length releases which meditate on the themes of childhood, growing up, and the loss of innocence.{{Cite web|url=https://www.musiconvinyl.com/catalog/san-fermin/the-cormorant-1|title=San Fermin - The Cormorant 1 - Music On Vinyl|website=www.musiconvinyl.com|language=en|access-date=2019-08-14}} This project, and its respective singles, are the first works of the group to be released through Ludwig-Leone's Sony Masterworks imprint Better Company.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sonymusicmasterworks.com/artist/san-fermin/|title=San Fermin|website=Sony Masterworks|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-28}}

As on records before, vocalist Allen Tate takes on the male role, while a rotating cast of women including San Fermin's Claire Wellin and Karlie Bruce, as well as Samia and Sarah Pedinotti of Lip Talk, take on the female role.

Arms has a more intimate, direct sound than much of San Fermin's previous work, which Ludwig-Leone ascribed to a decision to begin with the lyrics and to write the music on the piano.{{Cite web |title=Interview: Ellis Ludwig-Leone (San Fermin) |url=https://bigtakeover.com/interviews/interview-ellis-ludwig-leone-san-fermin |access-date=2024-12-05 |website=The Big Takeover |language=en}} The lyrics were inspired by a pair of break-ups in Ludwig-Leone's personal life, and he described the album as "the most autobiographical thing I’ve done."

A "Strings Version" of Arms featuring ADAM Quartet was released in October 2024.{{Cite web |title=Arms (Strings Versions) feat.
