Aerial M is the solo project of David Pajo, an influential figure in the indie rock world known for his tenure in the seminal post-rock band Slint and his work with other notable groups such as Tortoise and Palace Brothers. Pajo embarked on his solo endeavor as Aerial M, drawing from a rich tapestry of experimental rock, ambient, and post-rock influences to forge a sound characterized by intricate guitar work, contemplative soundscapes, and a minimalist aesthetic. The project debuted with the eponymous album "Aerial M" in 1997, creating a ruminative experience that solidified Pajo's reputation as a craftsman of instrumental music.

Over the subsequent years, Aerial M continued to explore and refine its sound through several recordings, with "M Is…" and "October" further showcasing Pajo's knack for creating immersive atmospheres with a blend of subtlety and complexity. The album "Post Global Music," which stands among Aerial M's most recent work, builds upon previous releases, encapsulating a sonic journey that's as thoughtful as it is expansive. Through Aerial M, David Pajo has contributed a unique voice to the world of modern music, melding serenity with a latent intensity that has captivated a dedicated following keen on the introspective power of his compositions.
