David Pajo is an alternative rock musician. However, even this classification is constraining, as he has over the course of his life played such a wide variety of music, only loosely fitting into genres such as: hardcore, math-rock, post-rock, electronica, folk, and even indie-pop. Though a multi-instrumentalist (playing guitar, bass, banjo, drums, and possibly many more instruments), he is best known for his guitar work.
In his early years he played with three Louisville hardcore and hardcore-inflected bands. He got his start as guitarist for Maurice, but he first recorded with Solution Unknown. He rose to prominence, however, for work with the influential post-rock band Slint. Since its breakup, he has seldom held positions in other bands for very long, moving from one to the other quite often. As a result he has contributed to many lineups, playing and recording with Will Oldham, The For Carnation, Tortoise, Stereolab, Royal Trux, King Kong, Bush League, Zwan, and Peggy Honeywell. He has also released music as a solo artist using various monikers, as Aerial M, M, and most notably, Papa M. Among his many 7” and splits with various bands, he has released (as Aerial M) 1997’s Aerial M, and (as Papa M) 1999’s Live From A Shark Cage, 2001’s Whatever, Mortal, and 2003’s Hole Of Burning Alms. In February and March of 2005 he joined his old friends from Slint, Britt Walford and Brian McMahan, for a reunion tour, and in April released his first solo album not bearing a pseudonym, simply entitled Pajo.

Was wary that scream with me would be a bit of a filler album of covers before an upcoming one of new material. I was wrong to be wary, wrong.

David Pajo releases his solo music under his surname, so the artist name on the actual CDs is "Pajo." That said, Drag City needs to upload the 1968 album here!

I don't own one yet (so have no reference) is the 'Pajo' album by Pajo or David Pajo? Both LastFM and Amazon have it listed under both names.
