Originally released to promote Nirvana's early 1992
Australian tour (and reissued a month later in Japan
for similar purposes, albeit with different cover art),
the Hormoaning EP quickly became a much sought-after
item to Nirvana fans and collectors alike. Not only was
it produced in relatively scarce quantities, but it
also gave those who were lucky enough to track down a
copy an opportunity to hear an assortment of rare
tracks unavailable elsewhere (that is, until
Incesticide, which contains most of these songs, was
released later in the year). Only two originals are
featured on Hormoaning -- the "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
B-side, "Even in His Youth," and the colossal,
foreboding "Aneurysm." However, in the same way that
MTV Unplugged in New York would later prove, the four
cover songs here tell as much about Nirvana as do the
originals. Kurt Cobain's wide-ranging influences are
acknowledged as if they were one and the same -- the
group's love of new wave (shown in their take on Devo's
"Turnaround") is treated no differently as their nod to
Northwest underground punk stalwarts the Wipers ("D-7")
or Cobain's beloved Scottish twee pop heroes the
Vaselines ("Son of a Gun" and "Molly's Lips").
Regardless of the availability of most of this material
elsewhere, Hormoaning still serves as a revealing entry
in the catalog of the most influential rock band of the
'90s.
