On January 31st, Leonard Cohen returns with 'Old Ideas', his first album in almost seven years. We’ve already had our first listen with 'Show Me the Place', and now comes our second with 'Darkness'.

Classic Cohen, you might say, with a lurching crawl that’s both gloomy and menacing. Not exactly as dark as, say, Tom Waits, but Cohen does have one moody outlook on things, especially when he croons, “The present’s not that pleasant, just a lot of things to do.” Can’t argue there. Check it out below.
