Netflix Reveals ‘Noah Kahan: Out of Body’ Doc on Singer’s Rise
Netflix released a trailer Tuesday for a new film about Noah Kahan. The documentary arrives on the streamer on April 13.
Festival premiere and award
The film, directed by Nick Sweeney, premiered at South by Southwest in March. It won the 24 Beats Per Second Audience Award from SXSW music-doc viewers.
Trailer highlights
The preview goes behind the scenes of Kahan’s life on and off stage. It shows the Vermont singer preparing to play stadium crowds for the first time.
Footage captures his headline performance at Fenway Park. The documentary places that show after the breakout success of his album Stick Season.
The trailer also shows the artist checking social reactions after concerts. It offers moments of levity alongside more serious material.
Personal themes
The title Out of Body carries more than one meaning. The film suggests both the surreal feeling of sudden stardom and struggles with body image.
Kahan said the movie chronicles roughly a year and a half on tour for Stick Season. He told fans it examines effects on his life and his family.
The director and subject address delicate topics like body dysmorphia and mental health. Kahan called the film a rare, direct conversation beyond his songs.
New music and timing
Kahan has a new album, The Great Divide, due April 24. That release comes less than two weeks after the documentary debuts.
- The title track has been released to streaming services.
- “Porch Light” is already available on DSPs.
