The score for Soaked in Bleach, the controversial 2015 docudrama about the last days of rocker
Kurt Cobain's life as told from the perspective of a
Courtney Love-hired private investigator, expresses an appropriately antagonistic tone via guitar feedback, prepared guitar strings, wind effects, and percussive and shimmering electronics amid dark, rock song-type pieces. Composed by
Peter G. Adams (No One Will Know, TV's Cold Case) and featuring performances by guitarist Louis Lenard (
Boy Hits Car), the rough sound palette creates a harsh, unsettling atmosphere that underlines the distressing circumstances of the film's story. ~ Marcy Donelson
