Leonard Cohen "you want it darker"
Spotify listen:
my knowledge of LC is pretty poor...
I only own "songs of leonard cohen" and "songs of love and hate"
plus a compilation...
musically, I like it, its almost atmospheric in places,
the backing vocals are a highlight, almost ethereal throughout,
lyrically, its very good IMO also...
Cohen's vocals are gravelly, almost as if they belong in a
smoky blues club somewhere....
i think they suit the album and the offset of the angelic backing
vocals add another dimension to the album...
it was a pleasant surprise after his last two efforts,
i wont even hazard a guess as to whether MH, who is a big LC fan
will like this one or not, i guess time will tell...
from the album:
