A tribute album to Nirvana is going to be released, but not just any tribute album, this will feature lullaby versions of the band’s tracks. The album will be put out by Babyrock Records and they have described it like this:
“Lullaby renditions of Nirvana’s best-loved songs turn the volume way down, while turning up the dreaminess of their pop hooks. In many ways, this album echoes the simple pleasures and innocence of infancy and childhood. Childish tra-la-la’s tempered the distortion of Nirvana’s own songs. Chimes, glockenspiels and other gentle instruments temper Nirvana’s wild spirit for your little one.”
