Papa M

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 a guitar, acoustic or electric (he does both). 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?

M-Heads down under, it's your time to salivate, cause this lovingly creepin' darkness will soon descend upon you - Papa M is set to tour Australia in September.

A Broken Sail
The Cinematic Avant-garde collective. Taking influence from the Louisville sound of the 90’s, A Broken Sail has been making waves domestically and internationally since 2017.

Band leader and sole songwriter of the group Zal Dastur made his way on the international scene with Papa M in 2018. This propelled the band’s profile and saw their release ‘1906’ sell out of 500 copies pressed overnight. The band, who is well known for their searing volume assaults and quiet sharp moments, is fresh from an AU/NZ tour with June Of 44, and ready to serve up the Slocore vibe.
