 | | The new PAJO record, like the Papa M record preceding it, is delicate folk music centered around acoustic guitar. | | | Over the years, Pajo began to sing more and more on each record, and has now, for the first time, put out an album in which he sings on every song. | | | Pajo does not plan on doing any touring for the new album. |

| | Pajo first adopted the Papa M moniker for the slowly developing guitar ruminations of Live From a Shark Cage (1999), a double-LP set that combined both live and home-studio recordings. | | | Following the release of their seminal Steve Albini-recorded Spiderland, the band split, leaving Pajo free to roam, which is exactly what he did. | | | Though his bass playing graced the band's TNT as well, by the time of the album's release in 1998, Pajo had already left, launching the first of his many "M" solo projects. |

| | Baltimore City Paper: MUSIC The Solo Careers of David Pajo, Indie Rock's Most Connected Man |
| | Pajo's recordings these days are solo efforts, but on tour it's a different story. | | | Pajo left Tortoise before the band embarked on an eight-month tour, in part because the self-described homebody wanted to return to his native Louisville, where he now lives less than a mile from his boyhood home. | | | When Pajo started releasing music as M in 1995, it seemed he was ready to settle down artistically. |

| | For his shows in Australia, David Pajo will be performing with two of his friends as Papa M. He expects that he will play tunes from the Whatever Mortal album as well as songs that he is tweaking for the upcoming Papa M release. | | | Whilst Pajo has enjoyed his time in other bands, it is when he records his own songs under the name of M, or more recently Papa M, that he is at his most assured. | | | The quietly spoken Pajo has had a sizeable hand in seminal indie-rock pioneers Slint, recorded with The Palace Brothers, played guitar for Stereolab and recorded two genre defining albums with Tortoise. |

| | Former guitarist David Pajo currently performs under the moniker Papa M and also plays bass for the NYC street metal band Early Man. Pajo was also a member of Tortoise, Palace, and the short-lived Billy Corgan-fronted rock band Zwan before their breakup in 2003. | | | Slint was a rock/math rock band consisting of Brian McMahan (guitar and vocals), David Pajo (guitar), Britt Walford (drums), Todd Brashear (bass on Spiderland) and Ethan Buckler (bass on Tweez). | | | Long since disbanded, three members of Slint — Brian McMahan, David Pajo, and Britt Walford — reunited to curate the 2005 All Tomorrow's Parties music festival in Camber Sands, England. |

Pajo says that ZWAN also have "the more progressive" songs, that are "huge journeys" as displayed by Jesus I / Mary Star on the album. | | | And while Corgan is fronting ZWAN, Pajo says there's no sign of the infamous iron fist with which he apparently ruled his grunge era band. | | | From 1987 to 1992 he was a member of the Louisville Kentucky post-rockers Slint, who issued the seminal Steve Albini produced album Spiderland in 1991. |

| | Papa M: Sings EP: Pitchfork Review |
| | Pajo has also been keeping a low profile by releasing albums under a variety of monikers most often involving the letter "M," and touring with such diverse acts as Royal Trux, Stereolab, and Will Oldham. | | | On "I of Mine," Pajo sings well-penned, Oldham-esque lyrics such as, "This home where there is no suffering is indeed most peaceful/ And happy when a breeze moves through the leaves/ Twisting them from emerald to silver," with just the right degree of restrained emotion to make the track successful. | | | But the biggest problem facing the EP is that, in a genre that thrives on sincerity, far too much of this record seems to be a detached genre exercise. |

| | Pajo Ready To Rock With New Band |
| | Because he is opting not to tour in support of "Pajo," due July 12 via Drag City, the artist has formed a band jokingly titled Dead Child with Slint touring bassist Todd Cook and second guitarist Michael McMahan. | | | May 20, 2005, 3:55 PM ET Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. Fresh off his acclaimed reunion tour with iconic indie rock act Slint and the pending release of a solo album titled after his last name, David Pajo is already looking ahead to a new project. | | | The drum stool will be filled by Tony Bailey, who previously played in the Pajo-led Aerial M. Pajo likens the music to the unabashed metal purveyed by recent Matador signee Early Man, with whom he has served as a live bassist at a handful of live shows over the past few months. |

| | Rough Guides Music: DAVID PAJO/PAPA M |
| | David Pajo has referred to himself as a ‘band whore’, and certainly his presence in the American indie music machine could be seen as promiscuous, with credits popping up for his vocals, playing, remixing and artwork on releases by many of the best known post-rock and alt-country bands around. | | | While the first known recording from Pajo was a 1981 single for the quickly forgotten new wave band Church Of The American Astronauts, it was not until the formation of Louisville’s SLINT with Brian McMahan, Britt Walford and Ethan Buckler, that the world sat up and took notice. | | | More than this, Pajo has worked alone to great effect, displaying his multi-instrumental abilities under a range of aliases and a selection of styles. |

| | Following some introductory dueling guitars the set is mainly comprised of covers, although Pajo carries these off, his folky guitar being the perfect backing to a voice a little reminiscent of Nick Cave. | | | The only other original is 'Tuner' - "doing other people's songs is easier" jokes Braithwaite - and indeed with a Dylan cover and a closing 'Bird On A Wire' it's just like a trawl though your depressed mate's record collection. | | | Similarly, when Pajo takes the stage it becomes clear that he's in the mood to pay tribute to a few of his idols. |

| | However, for Pajo, as well as the listener, the verbal silence of M proved to be far from unlucky, because the music was all about the unending and enlightening possibilities one encounters in an instrumental world. | | | Pajo simply referred to his musical output as M, which is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. | | | Actually, it’s not as though he never spoke, carried on a conversation or participated in an interview; it’s just that when it came to making music he kept his words to himself. |

| | 'Whatever Mortal' by Papa M from The Portsmouth Chorus. |
| | In the decade that separates the release of this, his third album as Papa M, and the epochal Spiderland, the undisputed masterwork of his influential Louisville band Slint, Pajo has embraced a whole spectrum of styles: incendiary math-rock, serene post-rock, haunting dub experimentalism, eerie sound collaging, and brittle acoustic folk. | | | Whatever, Immortal is another intriguing collection from Pajo --where will he go next? | | | This, combined with, the offbeat, sometimes bawdy nature of Pajo's lyrics ("There is something like a wall between us / That stopped you going down on my penis") means the likes of "Over Jordan" and "Sorrow Reigns" are oddly reminiscent of the carnal folk tales on Bonnie Prince Billy's Ease Down the Road. |
