    A Broke Moon Rises is a good record from a great musician, but if nothing else it’s worth hearing just to share in that moment.

    The result is a record that is powerfully alluring and timeless.

    None of the pieces seems to reach a destination, and are all the more poignant for that. [Sep 2018, p.58]

    A Broke Moon Rises takes a totally different tone and is all the better for it. The overall impression of sitting with A Broke Moon Rises is one of music being created as a comfort blanket: Pajo weaving a warm, familiar and enveloping sound world in order to soothe himself. Fortunately, it’s a generously proportioned blanket that can cover the listener too.

    To some ears, this album might sound like demos or unfinished sketches, but its simplicity seems to be Pajo's way of saying that sometimes it's best to appreciate things for what they are, and just be happy you're alive. He seems to be at peace, and that carries a great amount of significance.
