Pavo Pavo is the recording project of Oliver Hill and Eliza Bagg. On their 2016 debut, Young Narrator in the Breakers, Eliza’s effervescent soprano was compared to &quot;a lovelorn alien reaching out from the farthest reaches of the galaxy&quot; (Pitchfork), and the elegant, symphonic arrangements were described as &quot;weightless pop that sounds like it was beamed down from a glimmering utopian future&quot; (Stereogum).

Mystery Hour, the second album, is a focused, widescreen development. Channelling the narrative drama of Oliver and Eliza’s changing relationship, it is an uncategorizable record that’s both maximal and compact, a fever dream filled with cinematic imagery and rooted in acute emotion, written as the two were separating after a six-year relationship.

Their journey began at Yale University, where the duo both studied music, and met playing in the same string quartet. Since that time, Eliza and Oliver have become prolific and vital collaborators at the intersection of classical, experimental, and pop music. Eliza has worked closely on new music with Meredith Monk, Julianna Barwick, John Zorn, Caroline Shaw, and Ben Frost. Oliver has arranged strings for tracks by the Dirty Projectors, Helado Negro, and Wet, and is a member of Kevin Morby and Vagabon’s touring bands.
