The “Priest” They Called Him is a singular collaboration between Beat writer William S. Burroughs and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, issued as a limited 10’’ picture disc on Tim/Kerr in 1993. Bridging spoken word and noise rock, Burroughs’ deadpan narration of his story meets Cobain’s discordant guitar currents, producing a haunting, unfiltered piece that resonates with oblique storytelling and raw sonic textures. The original release was hand-numbered with etched signatures on the vinyl’s flip side, making the artifact as much a visual and cultural object as it is an aural document of two iconoclastic creative spirits.
