There, I met up with The Curtains and hit the road in their car. We headed north, writing down every melody that came to mind. I slept in the gap between the wall and the sofa and got interrupted by a herd of cows along the way, but I finally arrived in Olympia and recorded all the melodies I’d written down, which became \u003cem\u003eFaux Départ\u003c\/em\u003e. There, I found McCloud, a noble beggar who was sleeping in the studio and playing the bassoon on the street.\" – Tori Kudo, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Chris Cohen, who played in Deerhoof from 2001–2006 or so, was an obsessive Maher fan. When our other band, The Curtains, was given a chance to support Maher on a West Coast tour, we got to see up close how Tori leads - often by not leading. He is an unpredictable, wild musical genius and card-carrying eccentric.\" – Greg Saunier, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiner notes by Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Tori Kudo, McCloud Zicmuse, Arrington de Dionyso.
