When you listen to Apollo Run, you can easily get the impression that their music just keeps growing and growing to impossible heights, even when their harmonies are already lost in the clouds. In the space of just one song, John McGrew and crew take you up to a furtive hook, then proceed to throw in a trumpet, raise the harmonies up by a couple more octaves, and proceed to play everything again with only cardboard instruments… At least that’s what the video for new single ‘The Inevitable Small Rebellions’ (streaming below) from new album ‘HBDVIII’ would have us believe. See them live on Friday 01.11 when they play The Mercury Lounge and let me know how they do it yourself. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
