Last week, Brooklyn-based trio Apollo Run welcomed their new album, “Here Be Dragons, Vol. III”, a full-length follow up to their two EP’s, “Here Be Dragons Vol. I” and “Vol. II.” Accompanying this release was a new video for track, “The Inevitable Small Rebellions” which not only fans but CMJ were very excited to share. The festival’s website premiered the video to introduce the record and to highlight Apollo Run as an official CMJ artist. Featuring the band on cardboard instruments and children in animal-themed face paint, the song sets the stage for a theatrical video based loosely on George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” The album’s opening track also represents Apollo Run’s affinity for creating layered compositions rather than one-dimensional songs, and “HBD, Vol.III” is no exception. The band is gearing up for a fall tour and will be playing Union Hall on October 10 and CMJ on October 17 at Bowery Electric. – Meijin Bruttomesso
