***BACK IN PRINT ON VINYL!!! Back in 1997, DAVID PAJO was a little over a half decade removed from the future sensation known as SLINT. Their second album had been released in 1991 when the band themselves were already defunct. During the next five years, David worked with PALACE BROTHERS, KING KONG TORTOISE, THE FOR CARNATION and STEREOLAB. All during that period, the idea of his own music was slowly simmering, building flavor like a good rage. He and former Slint-ite BRITT WALFORD had discussed a band called M —the significance lying in the letter’s position in the middle of the alphabet. A single under that name was released on Palace Records in 1996, and upon hearing it, there was no doubt that this fucker was one of the Slint boys. We were big fans of Tweez ; we jumped right on that shit and offered Dave a deal he couldn’t refuse—if he made a record, we’d put it out! The rest is…not only history, but somewhat out of print. David changed the name to AERIAL M , put out an album, two singles and a remix record, then changed the name to PAPA M and made a couple of double-albums, an EP and five or six singles. Now his self-titled LP is available again.

***Unearthed from the neolithic tar that eventually swathes all history, Aerial M’s early-1998 Peel Session is once again among us. Compared to the studio takes, played strictly and singly by Aerial / Papa M-astermind David Pajo, these versions swing from the necks of road-burned players, breathing more bestially than their canonical cousins, glinting ‘pon the dark metallic roots that fed all of Pajo’s best guitar lines, winding thru time immemorial. First pressing on coke bottle clear vinyl.

Aerial M brings their "Wedding Song" to the re-mix party and delivers it into the able hands of BUNDY K. BROWN, TIED & TICKLED TRIO, FLACCO, and DJ YOUR FOOD, with great hopes of selling some more records. The result: four songs, and hundreds of units moved. Another successful outing for all involved.
