Incesticide

Nirvana’s second album for Geffen Records collects B-sides, rarities, and alternate takes that reveal the band’s grunge toolkit in raw form—distorted guitars cutting through hushed verses, Kurt Cobain’s voice shifting from whisper to howl. Recorded across three years and three studios, these tracks document the Seattle sound before “Nevermind” calcified it into MTV formula, capturing the restless energy that made grunge matter.
