Hey, remember the time world-renowned songwriter/poet/badass Leonard Cohen took a quick break from receiving an international literary award in Spain to mention that he's releasing a new album next year? That wasn't a tease, and now we have more details and the first new cut from the album below.
Old Ideas, Cohen's first new album since Dear Heather in 2004, will be out on January 31, feature 10 new songs (tracklist below), and be covered by that shot of the artist chilling on a lawn reading a book that you see above. You can preorder it over here in MP3, CD, Vinyl with CD, or Collector's Edition (Vinyl, CD, and a limited lithograph) to get a digital version of "Show Me The Place," which you can also stream after the jump in all its cool, gravelly glory.
Great to have you back, Mr. Cohen.
