After recent leaks of unreleased Kurt Cobain videos, songs and covers from the documentary Montage of Heck, director Brett Morgan has now announced a rarities album of home recordings will be released over the summer. 

A cover of The Beatles' 'And I Love Her' appeared online last month, along with a video of Cobain and Courtney Love reading out hate-mail in a wedding dress and moustache. 

In an interview with Bedford and Bowery Brett Morgan, who was give unprecedented access to the Nirvana frontman's home recordings, explained that a selection of demos and jam sessions in the 200 hours of audio he had to sift through will be released as an album. 

“We’re going to be putting out an amazing album this summer." He went on to descibe it, “you 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.”
