Concert Review: San Fermin Give Fairytales To Brooklyn Steel
Sometimes, as an adult, I miss fairytales and believing that they were real. Maybe, that is why I am so into comics? They are like adult fairytales because they show heroes don’t win, and giving up your voice and opportunity to be Queen of The Seas for a Prince you met 20 seconds ago is just stupid. (Sorry, Little Mermaid!) Hence, San Fermin felt like the sonic fairytales for adult that feel they are losing their “magic” and need hope the love and happiness are just a spell/chance away.

The minute I heard the lyric “grieving witch,” I was fascinated by San Fermin. Who was this witch? Why was she sad? And where could I find her? (lol!) Yet, San Fermin’s songs are filled with imaginative lyrics that make you feel like you are Hansel and Gretel in your blooming twenties or thirties; you may have avoided getting eaten by an evil witch but having a 9 to 5 with a horrible boss can make you wish you had been. Yet, from “The Cormorant” to “The Living,” they made adulthood feel like an adventure filled with ghoulish coworkers, siren interns, and beautiful wishes in-between. In essence, by creating verses with picturesque, philosophical themes and putting them over elaborate, chamber arrangements, they showed the difference between a kid’s story and an adult lullaby really is the soundscape.

There is an inherent, mature visuality to San Fermin’s music that made their fans feel deeply loyal to them. For their audience, San Fermin represented REAL music or, at least, its purpose; which is to get you our of your head to you can go deeper into your mind. You feel like a dreamer when you hear their songs; looking at your capacity to see what you hear. Such a gift is born from the lulling vocals of Allen Tate, Karlie Bruce, and Claire Wellin. It is clear they are having a blast on stage, laughing and smiling, but, when it comes to approach the mic, they have a serious joy. Their faces become focus and smirked like people realizing to give a vocal note is the same as giving a written one because both share an emotional message.
