New music from Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, as well as unearthed audio excerpts of interviews with Nirvana's Kurt Cobain will appear on the soundtrack to the film About a Son, based on interviews with Cobain conducted by journalist/Come As You Are scribe Michael Azerrad.

Cobain's contemporaries Mudhoney, the Melvins, Mark Lanegan, and more, contribute previously released tracks, as do Cobain favorites like Iggy Pop, R.E.M., Half Japanese, David Bowie, and Leadbelly. The soundtrack is set for release September 11 from Barsuk.

Along with the soundtrack songs, the film features an original score by Ben Gibbard and producer Steve Fisk.

The documentary itself-- combining excerpts from the taped interviews with footage shot in the Pacific Northwest by director AJ Schnack-- will be released sometime in the fall with a DVD release to follow shortly thereafter.
