New Mix: Soccer Mommy, Chastity Belt, Leonard Cohen, (Sandy) Alex G, More

This week's All Songs Considered includes an all-new song from the late Leonard Cohen, lyrically devastating work from (Sandy) Alex G, a battle of inner demons from Chastity Belt and more.

Warning: The opening cut on this week's show, by Fran got stuck in my head and kept me wide awake at four in the morning. But a song from about dealing with temptation and the devil, 's first new music since 2017 and 's devastating song titled "Hope" will help when taken at and all-new material he recorded before his death. You can top it off with harmonies 's fine guitar picking and poetry on his new tune "Have To Do For Now," and ' cover of 's "It Ain't Me Babe."
