Highway Songs

Highway Songs is the first official release from Papa M since a series of sequentially titled series of EPs released between 2003 and 2004, but acts as the proper follow-up to 2001's Whatever Mortal. It also follows Pajo's last solo album, Scream with Me, a collection of Misfits covers released in 2009.

The new album was apparently plotted out while Pajo was reflecting on his "time spent hooked up to machines" while in the hospital. Drag City further describes the release as being delivered by "a good person with bad thoughts," the collection playing out as "a story told in fragments picked up off the bathroom floor."

Pajo is a veteran musician who has also performed in Slint, Zwan and Interpol. He's also delivered solo work as Aerial M and Pajo.
