A Broke Moon Rises

Following his phoenix-like rise from the ashes in late 2016, Papa M (David Pajo) strikes back with just four acoustic guitars and a bit of drums.


A Broke Moon Rises’ is meditative in the most active sense, with the unquiet mind leaping from place to place in a static, spartan theatre.

The album’s title is based upon his son’s observation of a half-moon one evening (when his son was 29) and it helped infuse the record with an essential feeling, which draws to a decidedly tasty conclusion with David taking on a piece by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.
