Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck Soundtrack to Include Unreleased Tracks, Comedy Routine

In the process of making Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, director Brett Morgen sifted through dozens of Cobain‘s personal tapes. He later revealed that some of his private home-recorded sessions would be released on an album this summer. Now, Morgen says that all the home recordings featured in the movie, as well as a dozen new tracks, will be released as a companion soundtrack to Montage of Heck‘s home video release in November, as Billboard reports. 

Morgen said the music ranges “from thrash to ragtime and everything in between.” He said the record will include audio montages and narration by Cobain, as well as “a sketch comedy routine” with Cobain voicing multiple characters. “You really get a sense of how happy he was simply by creating himself. His lyrics are really playful, and, at times, you can feel his smile and warmth coming through.”

Additionally, Morgen said that his interview with Dave Grohl, who didn’t appear in the final cut of the movie, will not be included with the home video release. “I don’t think Dave Grohl is a DVD extra,” he said. “I think it would be disrespectful.”

Morgen previously said that the album “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.”

When Montage of Heck hits theaters this weekend, it will feature a previously unreleased track.
