The article reflects on a decade since the release of San Fermin's debut album and the author's transformative experience covering the band for Paste Magazine. The author highlights how the album "Jackrabbit" shaped San Fermin's trajectory in the music industry, solidifying their reputation for theatrical and intricately arranged baroque pop. It also marks a pivotal moment for the author as a journalist, showcasing the potential of ambitious storytelling in music journalism. As the band celebrates its anniversary with a tour, the author reconnects with bandleader Ellis Ludwig-Leone to reflect on their shared journey since that pivotal tour in California.
The 10 year anniversary of an album that changed the course of the life of San Fermin as a unit, also marks the 10 year anniversary of a story that also changed the course of my career as a music journalist.
San Fermin presents a singular experience through the signature vocal dichotomy of stalwart male lead Allen Tate with a rotating cast of female vocalists over the years.
