Kurt So Good
Thirty years on from Cobain’s death, photobook Charles Peterson’s Nirvana remembers the glory that was grunge.
“CHARLES WAS IN the trenches, always right down in front,” says Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic in his foreword to Charles Peterson’s Nirvana, which handsomely compiles the photographer’s images of the group from 1989 to 1993. Novoselic also reflects on Peterson’s black and white, long exposure style, as “the musical technique of dropping a guitar’s low E string down to the D note, while sending the signal through a vintage Fuzz box. That’s basic Grunge.”
