Caroline Polachek has released an aria that she wrote for Oliver Leith’s opera Last Days, an adaptation of Gus Van Sant’s 2005 film dramatizing the end of Kurt Cobain’s life. The contribution from Cook and PC Music producer Danny L Harle is titled “Non Voglio Mai Vedere Il Sole Tramontare,” Italian for “I Never Want to See the Sun Go Down.” Last Days runs at London’s Royal Opera House through October 11.

She’s also joined Charli XCX for “New Shapes,” remixed material by Christine and the Queens, made a guest appearance on Murkage Dave’s “Awful Things,” and produced material for Hyd.
