After spending the past few months teasing fans on Instagram, Brooklyn-based seven-piece San Fermin have released “Open”, the first single from their upcoming third LP Belong. A gentle, emotive chamber ballad, “Open” showcases de facto frontwoman Charlene Kaye’s rich vocals over a dramatic string arrangement. “I have a body, I have a soul,” she sings with yearning, embodying bandleader and composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone’s desire to make the latest batch of San Fermin songs more emotional and direct than ever before. “’Open’ was the keystone of this new record, the song I kept coming back to that shaped the direction of everything else,” Ludwig-Leone told NPR, who premiered the track. “It’s a call from that little nagging voice telling you that you might be a bad person, or at least want bad things.”

San Fermin will release Belong later this year. Check out the track below.
