Episode 7! San Fermin: On Operatic Album Jackrabbit, Life, Death, Love and Fear
In this week’s episode of Rhapsody in Reverie, Adrienne and Katarina discuss indie band San Fermin. This Brooklyn band’s debut album San Fermin and sophomore album Jackrabbit soared to operatic heights with beautifully crafted narratives weaving each song together. Primary songwriter Ellis Ludwig Leone diverged from concept albums on San Fermin’s most recent album Belong for a much more personal exploration into his mind and talent. Listen to Adrienne and Katarina dissect the nuances hiding within the lyrics of San Fermin, discover references to Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises and Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as well as ponder life, death, love and fear.
