A Kurt Cobain solo album is coming this summer

by Mark Teo

Montage of Heck, the HBO documentary about the life of Kurt Cobain, has received plenty of press, and rightfully so. But the most exciting part of the movie—to us, at least—was the fact that the film uncovered a previously unreleased Cobain solo track. Now, we’ve come across an even more exciting piece of news, via Bedford + Bowery: Namely, that an entirely new album of Cobain’s music will be materializing this summer.

In an interview, the film’s director, Brett Morgen, was asked whether he’d come across any additional unreleased material while digging through Cobain’s archives. The response was, well, staggering.

“We’re going to be putting out an amazing album this summer that I think will answer that question,” Morgen said, adding that the album will be made up of home recordings. “[It] will feel like you’re kind of hanging out with Kurt Cobain on a hot summer day in Olympia, Washington as he fiddles about. It’s going to really surprise people. Just to be clear, it’s not a Nirvana album, it’s just Kurt and you’re going to hear him do things you never expected to come out of him.”

It’s all happening, guys.
