In Utero (album)



Released September 21, 1993
Recorded February 12–26, 1993
Studio Pachyderm Studio, Cannon Falls, Minnesota, United States

In Utero is the third and final studio album by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 21, 1993, by DGC Records. Nirvana intended for the record to diverge significantly from the polished, refined production of its previous album, Nevermind (1991). To capture a more abrasive and natural sound, the group hired engineer Steve Albini to record In Utero during a two-week period in February 1993 at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. The music was quickly recorded within that time with few studio embellishments. The song lyrics and album packaging largely incorporated medical imagery that conveyed frontman Kurt Cobain's outlook on his publicized personal life and his band's newfound fame.

In less than a year, Kurt Cobain would be dead.

There's one cut from the album I won't be linking to. Let's try this one instead. It's my favorite song from the album:
