The release of the Montage of Heck soundtrack made of Kurt Cobain’s home recordings edges ever closer. Now, fans can hear one of the most-anticipated tracks from the album, Cobain’s cover of The Beatles “And I Love Her.”
Check it out up top via Spotify.
The album drops on November 13 as a CD and download. A vinyl special edition is scheduled for December 4. Montage of Heck director Brett Morgen recently defended the idea of releasing Cobain’s private recordings.
“The morality of putting out unfinished work — I know that is a criticism that will be lobbied against the project. But just like the Bootleg Series furthers your understanding of Bob Dylan’s process, I find that Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings furthers not just our understanding of his process but represents yet another angle, another side of Kurt — an artistic outlet that he was not necessarily able to work with in the context of a three-piece band. It’s not scraps and discarded, insignificant material. It really is furthering our understanding of one of the most significant artists of our time.”
For more Montage of Heck tracks, check out the early demo of “Sappy.” And for more unreleased Cobain, check out this recently uncovered album from Cobain’s pre-Nirvana band, Fecal Matter.
