It's Leonard Cohen's Birthday. The Present Is Dark.

"For the past 25 years I've had this notion that on every successive Leonard Cohen record his voice would get deeper and deeper until one day he'd put out an album so subsonic that you'd just feel it, not hear it. Well, we're close. On this day, Leonard Cohen's 82nd birthday, he's given us a gift: It's dark, it's beautiful and it's deep."

You Want It Darker

Full album on 21 October.

Wow, that's pretty deep. There's a guy who really loves his smokes.

Rather. On the one hand, smoking, nasty habit, lung cancer and emphysema, etc etc. But on the other... that voice.

I love his voice, but this was a little too Old Testament for me.
