The 'Great Escape Artist' is back-no, not THAT one-dude's dead! We're talking about Papa M. And HE's talking 'bout Harry Houdini-at least in the title of this record, anyway. Yes, once again, after a gap of YEARS, Papa M just rolls up and shows us how it's done. This time, with a fresh, fine and fat-assed set of songs. And just SIX of 'em! So you know they're some groovers. Sometimes you never know when it comes to Papa M and his ol' left-shoulder angel (or is it right? We forget.), David Christian Pajo. After Slint's disbandment, he whiled away the 90s playing with literally everybody who asked, pausing long enough here and there to start his own band, called M. One literally awesome single later, he tells us, 'I have an album, but now I'm gonna call the band Aerial M.' Alright, okay...it's early days yet-go for it! One insanely great album and an (also amazing, goddamn!) remix album later, he's like, 'The next record is gonna be credited to Papa M.' And there we were with a thousand promotional Aerial M beer mats ready to go-fuck! Ah, we used 'em to shim wobbly table legs and such, and gave the world the Papa M they deserved. Two epic/classic albums and a forbiddingly large outstretched palm of singles (eventually collected into another epic full-length) later, David was looking a bit green around the gills. It'd been five years of Papa-ing off; time to do something/ anything else for awhile. Okay, fine. Let us know. And twelve long years go by before he sends in Highway So
