A new feature length documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck about late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain will be released soon and director Brett Morgen has revealed a new album of previously unreleased material recorded by Cobain will be issued this summer. The film, which was executive produced by Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain, is currently being shown in select theaters through this Sunday, May 3 and will air on HBO on Monday, May 4.
In an interview with Bedford + Bowery, Morgan announced “We’re going to be putting out an amazing album this summer that I think will answer that question… [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.”
