Papa M is back - it's been well over a decade since Slint's David Pajo released as solo alter-ego, but he's returning with a new album this autumn.
Sublime new single "Walking On Coronado", the first from this next Papa M record, has been released to celebrate the news.
Highway Songs is out 11 November via Drag City. It follows 2004 compilation Hole Of Burning Alms and a bunch of singles and EPs, but will be the first original full-length since 2001's Whatever, Mortal.
