Posthumous Leonard Cohen album - with The National, Arcade Fire, Beck, Feist...

A posthumous Leonard Cohen album 'Thanks for the Dance' of previously unreleased music has been announced, NPR reports. It's "an unexpected harvest of new songs, exciting and vital, a continuation of the master’s final work”, the press release said. In big part it is a work of Cohen's son Adam - the father had asked the son to bring the 'Thanks for the Dance' songs to completion, and Adam did so all around the world, including A-list stars - Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Bryce Dessner of The National, Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire, s t a r g a z e, Feist, Damien Rice, Beck, Daniel Lanois, Patrick Watson, Leonard’s former bandmate Javier Mas (playing Leonard’s own guitar), an orchestra and several choirs. The first song to be shared from the album is 'The Goal' (listen below). The album is out on November 22.
