Earlier this month, a “new” mixtape emerged, curated by the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Entitled Montage of Heck, it featured a mixture of Nirvana demos, random radio bits, music from bands like the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel, and, in true Cobain fashion, toilets flushing and people vomiting.

This mixtape’s title will lend itself to the first “fully authorized” Kurt Cobain documentary, to be released in 2015 on HBO. Directed by Brett Morgen, the film credits Frances Bean, Cobain’s daughter, as an executive producer and features hours of previously unseen home videos as well as unreleased music, art, and writing from Cobain. You can read a statement from Morgen regarding the documentary below.

I started work on this project eight years ago. Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth. However, once I stepped into Kurt’s archive, I discovered over 200 hours of unreleased music and audio, a vast array of art projects (oil paintings, sculptures), countless hours of never-before-seen home movies, and over 4,000 pages of writings that together help paint an intimate portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself to the media.
