DCFC's Gibbard Contributes to Cobain Documentary

Death Cab for Cutie's main man, Ben Gibbard, has contributed new music to the rock doc of Kurt Cobain's conversations with journalist and friend, Michael Azerrad, titled Kurt Cobain: About A Son. That film's soundtrack was released yesterday on Barsuk and on it Gibbard's covers "Indian Summer" by K Records band Beat Happening.

The About A Son soundtrack also features previously released tracks from Mudhoney, the Melvins, Mark Lanegan, and more, as well as Cobain faves like Iggy Pop, Half Japanese, David Bowie, R.E.M., and Leadbelly.
