Career

Pagoda was formed by Michael Pitt and Ryan Donowho in 2001 after meeting each other at a mutual friends house. Christian Zucconi filled in the bassist position and they made their recording debut with the song "Muskrat" on the soundtrack for the film The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things. After adding cellist Indigo Ruth Davis, they traveled to Milan, Italy, in 2004 and starting recording songs for their debut album.

In 2005, the band released a five song demo and had two songs featured on the soundtrack for the film The Last Days, which starred Pitt. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore became impressed with the band and signed them to his Ecstatic Peace label. Right before the release of their debut album in 2007, the band announced on their website that their lineup consisted of Pitt, Reese Carr, Willie Paredes and Chris Hoffman.
