The Profile

David Pajo (born 1968) is an American guitarist and songwriter, known for work with Slint and for solo recordings under the names Pajo and Papa M.

Known as a member of Slint and for solo releases under the names Pajo and Papa M; solo output mixes indie, post-rock and folk influences and often features sparse, guitar-and-voice arrangements.

Two DeBaser reviews discuss Pajo's stripped-down solo work: intimate voice and guitar, lo-fi recording textures, and covers. The longer review traces literary and musical influences (Nick Cave, Nick Drake, Mark Linkous, Neil Young). One review is appreciative and detailed; the other is concise and lukewarm.
