PAPA M TAKES THE UPRIGHT PATH TO THE LAND OF OZ

posted January 15th, 2020

Papa M makes mood music both instrumental and vocal. The M-leader, David Pajo, is a caretaker of the darkest feelings found underneath the six strings of an guitar, acoustic or electric (he does both, yo). Most recently, this beautiful and occasionally frightening sound manifested as A Broke Moon Rises, an acoustic record of music without words that is meditative and at times medicating, ripe for those in need of a lifeline. Before it came Highway Songs, which was very electric, a bit electronic, and tended towards the eclectic: some songs with words, too. Are you getting us? M is the proud Papa of the classic turn-of-the-century, ur-pulse of the minimal universe album, Live From A Shark Cage, and David Pajo spent his formative years as guitar hero for the hugely influential rock band, Slint, out of Louisville, KY. Drool much, do ya?
