photo by Tracy Clayton KEXP is proud to premiere the new video from rising roots-rock icon James Apollo . Apollo has a new release out now called Little War, Little Less , and this video is for the last track on the album, "The Days." As Apollo's drummer tells the story, most of these songs were first sketched in complete isolation in the canyons of Utah. A heavy-hearted sense of isolation echoes through this song, as Apollo quietly croons "It's not the nights, but it's the days." The song builds and builds until the [...]
James Apollo didn't listen to much in high school, but what he did listen to, he shares with The Owl Mag -- along with his general badass-ery.

America’s thoughtful songwriter, James Apollo builds up to his forthcoming 2nd album, with a meandering, soothingly provocative backing vocal inclusive ballad, ‘Two By Two’. It offers time for contemplation and the chance to ponder upon life and love. The achingly soulful vocals help the emotion seep out of the song. Apollo builds up trust with his calming gait, as he delivers a tale of mysterious tale of longing and heartache through the pondering, poetics lyrics. It’s helped along by a deft crawling, keys touch that gives a rustic edge to the song. Depth, rhythm and heart combine for [...]

I broke down in Arizona a few weeks back and this is what the old man told me... Dangerous Don was a lawman and a familyman and an armyman. He was also a tow truck driver. "You can't just wait to get lucky. Look at this. I wore off the end of my finger from crossing them too much" He shows me the index finger of his left hand, which is indeed missing everything north of the middle joint. I naturally assume table saw, and I’m usually right, but as he [...]
EL CHUCO Y QUE I was in El Paso, Texas, a small town only a few thousand miles north of Mexico City, and a few million from New York, when things got a little out of hand. James Apollo and the Sweet Unknown were playing a joint called the Wherehouse (which was an apt description) in what looked like the outskirts of El Paso, but really, all of El Paso looks like the outskirts of El Paso.
