"I miss the joke by the punch line..."
On San Fermin's new EP, "In This House", the shape shifting (8 piece - give or take) band, centered around Brooklyn-based composer and songwriter Ellis Ludwig-Leone, collab with a bevy of divergent bands from Nico Muhly, Sorcha Richardson, Thao Nguyen, Wye Oak, Attacca Quartet, Wild Pink and, on the psych pop trip fest "Nothingness", stir things up with The Districts.
About the collab, Ellis adds, "It was super fun to work with Rob on this song. I’ve been a fan of The Districts since we saw them at Sasquatch in 2015, and it was cool to put this one together with him piece by piece. We started with the chorus and then layered instruments in until we found the right arrangement." The Districts' Rob Grote expounds, "'Nothingness' is about the illusions and projections we hold onto for far too long that obscure our views of reality."
I am digging the minimalistic framework of "Nothingness", the jagged jumbled drum fills, textured big synths and percolating psychedelic orchestrations that simmer but never flood as vocal harmonies tell illusionary stories.
