The Curtains (Ex-Deerhoof) Debut on Asthmatic Kitty

Chris Cohen may have said goodbye to Deerhoof, but he's been chugging away at his full-time project turned side-project turned full-time project, the Curtains. Their new record, Calamity, is due October 24 on Asthmatic Kitty.

The album was produced and almost entirely performed by Cohen.
