There is a "Leonard Cohen afterworld" (as Kurt Cobain sang on "Pennyroyal Tea") beyond The Future. Indeed, the Canadian singer-songwriter will release his first album since that 1992 effort this fall.

Ten New Songs, due October 16, is the Godfather of Gloom's 10th studio album. After establishing himself as a novelist and poet, Cohen made his recording debut in 1968 with Songs of Leonard Cohen. He garnered a substantial cult audience and earned the respect of fellow musicians, including the late Nirvana leader. The track list for Ten New Songs, according to Columbia Records:

  • "In My Secret Life"
  • "Love Itself"
  • "By the Rivers Dark"
  • "That Don't Make It Junk"
  • "A Thousand Kisses Deep"
  • "You Have Loved Enough"
  • "Here It Is"
  • "Alexandra Leaving"
  • "Boogie Street"
  • "The Land of Plenty"
