It’s a huge day for Nirvana fans: filmmaker Brett Mogren, the director behind the Cobain-centric documentary Montage of Heck, announced the release of a Cobain solo album, due November 6 via Universal Music.
The album will feature all tracks from the Montage of Heck soundtrack, as well as a dozen unreleased tracks, a comedy sketch and several audio montages.
Thematically, the album focuses more on Kurt’s creative process and delves into how he wrote songs. “[It’s] curated to feel as though one were sitting in Kurt’s living room watching him create over the course of an afternoon,” Mogren told Billboard. “These are all just Kurt by himself with the guitar. These aren’t multi-track, finished songs or work-ups, but they’re extraordinary, and I think they provide a tremendous insight into his [creative] process. I think they further our understanding of Kurt, both as a musician and as a man.”
The release of the currently untitled album coincides with the physical release of Montage of Heck on Blu-Ray and DVD
