Aerial M is the solo project of guitarist David Pajo, known for his influential work with post-rock pioneers Slint. Under the Aerial M moniker, Pajo explored minimalist instrumental compositions that blend elements of rock, ambient, and folk, creating spacious soundscapes defined by subtle textures and emotional depth. Released on Chicago’s Drag City label in the late 1990s, his recordings embody a meditative and cinematic quality that has influenced generations of guitar-based experimental music and cemented Pajo’s reputation as a vital figure in independent rock.
