Apr 7, 2017As San Fermin's best outing, Belong winds wildly through styles, but ultimately ties together its own unique intoxication.
-
Apr 7, 2017Belong manages to strike a nice balance between San Fermin's musical theater/experimental rock predilections and their emerging pop ambitions, and while there's still a lot to chew on, the taste has grown significantly sweeter.
-
Apr 17, 2017Belong would still be getting outright praise along with their slightly more subdued self-titled debut. Previous work aside, this is still an intricate, technically awe-inspiring LP with many narrow pathways to explore.
-
Apr 7, 2017A lot of the record shows a lack of streamlining, or a singular focus. If album four sees San Fermin filtering through the bucketloads of promise on show here, there’s something really special on the horizon.
-
Apr 11, 2017Booming walls of sound are favoured at the expense of nuance, leaving Belong too regularly thirsting for a banner hit, and ultimately, offering a perfect example of why bigger isn’t always better.

-
Apr 19, 2017The downside of Belong’s greater tilt toward pop and feelings is an occasional lurch into treacle.
