Hole of Burning Alms is a comprehensive compilation from David Pajo’s solo project Papa M, gathering rare singles, B-sides and unreleased tracks from the mid-’90s through 2000. Traversing post-rock, folk-tinged instrumental explorations and lo-fi experimentations, the set maps Pajo’s evolution from Slint-inflected guitar surges to dusty acoustic hymns and expansive ambient pieces. Released on Drag City, the record refracts Pajo’s wide network of aliases and influences into a singular, contemplative journey that captures both his restless creativity and his deep roots in underground rock.
