Leonard Cohen releases 'Popular Problems' Sept. 23

Another Popular Problem

"There is a crack in Everything, that's how the Light gets in." - Leonard Cohen

 Two days after Canada's poet laureate turns 80 he will release an unexpected album of new material entitled Popular Problems.  Produced by Old Idea's (2012) producer Patrick Leonard the album features nine new songs which have had limited live debuts (Born In Chains appeared in 2010 setlists and My, Oh My was played in soundcheck).

Since having been heinously swindled for his life's earnings by his former manager Cohen toured extensively in support of his previous release playing epic three and a half hour shows.  Cohen has not indicated he will be touring in support of Popular Problems (which is available for pre-order on Itunes with a free download of Almost Like The Blues).
