San Fermin announce new album “The Cormorant” and will be joining all the amazing bands touring this nation in the fall. The avant-pop ensemble known for lilting operatic indie pop’s single explores similar ground. “The Living” has a moody 80’s vibe with band leader delivers a brilliant cadence through the haze of synths. According to frontman Leone, “The Cormorant I starts with a visit from a strange bird, a death augur, which haunts two characters throughout their lives,” notes Ellis Ludwig-Leone of the album’s namesake. “The track listing is chronological: the first few songs are about childhood, while the later tracks follow the characters into their more complicated adult lives. Finally, the last song imagines the return of the bird and their eventual deaths.”

“I imagined The Cormorant I as a stand-alone narrative in itself, but also as the first piece of a larger two-part story,” Ludwig-Leone explains of the eventual paired album release. “The second part is like the fever dream, upside-down response to Part I. The jumps between the past and present are more jagged, and memories are subjected to a more critical eye. As I was writing, I was thinking a lot about how memories change over time— the stories you tell yourself and the actual events aren’t always in sync.”
