Maldoror was formed when Patton, who had an interest in Japanese noise music, had some days off while on tour in Australia with Faith No More. He contacted Masami Akita and the two performed some improvised noise shows. They then recorded She at a recording studio in Tokyo, Japan.[2] Maldoror have performed a few additional shows in later years.

| AllMusic |    |
AllMusic panned the release, writing "These two notorious avant-garde noise experimentalists have joined forces [...] to produce, well, avant-garde experimental noise. For a couple of 'experimentalists', the result is disappointingly predictable."[3]
gollark: IRC has some problematic flaws.
gollark: And is very annoying when I need to plug something in and transfer files.
gollark: I don't actually know which have no data lines, which does sort of defeat the point.
gollark: I have loads of chargers and cables, but the spare chargers generally all provide 5V/1A or less and the cables are often short, frayed or seemingly missing data lines.
gollark: Just have the sides be covered in various exposed not-really-general-purpose GPIO pins.
