Breed - Nirvana - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Breed" is a track from Nirvana's 1991 second studio album, Nevermind. Originally titled "Imodium," the song dates back to the band's 1989 promotional tour for their debut album, Bleach. It was written by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and initially featured a rawer sound and slower tempo. Transitioning through band lineups and record labels, "Breed" found its definitive form at Sound City Studios in 1991 under Butch Vig's production. The recording process highlighted Cobain's vocal intensity, with the chosen first take evidencing the strain on his voice. Lyrically, "Breed" delves into the disenchantment and restlessness of American youth, marrying the singer's knack for poignant absurdities with social commentary. Musically, "Breed" dives into a whirlpool of punk energy, characterized by swift tempo shifts and Kurt Cobain's distinctive guitar work, notably during the solo with its unique panning effects.
