Nirvana

Incesticide

First released1992

Incesticide was recorded across multiple sessions between 1989 and 1992 at various studios including Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, and other facilities. The album compiled previously unreleased tracks, B-sides, and radio session recordings rather than being a cohesive studio project recorded in one session. Producer Butch Vig, who would later work with the band on Nevermind, helmed some of the sessions, while other tracks were produced by different engineers depending on their origin. The album was released in December 1992 as a stopgap measure while the band worked on new material following Nevermind's massive success. Its collection of early recordings and alternate versions served as a historical document of Nirvana's pre-fame songwriting and studio experimentation.
