Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from Papa M, a primary solo project of David Pajo (Slint, Tortoise), is a masterpiece of instrumental Americana. 'Live From a Shark Cage' is a calm and meditative work that blends the intricate, acoustic fingerpicking of American Primitivism with the atmospheric textures of post-rock and subtle electronic elements. It's a beautiful, pastoral, and deeply influential record.
