Shaboozey sets shows across Nashville, New York and Los Angeles for this May.

Satori returns with his awaited remix of Leonard Cohen's timeless haunting masterpiece, “You Want It Darker.” The official remix preserves the integrity of the original record while blending Satori's deep, melodic electronic touch with Cohen's introspective and poetic storytelling talents. The Satori remix of Leonard Cohen's “You Want It Darker.'

At the time, Hinton found inspiration in unlikely places, including a Starbucks in Austin where he wrote lyric ideas over a tall dark coffee. The track, recorded at Los Angeles' Eagle Rock studio, aims to capture the feeling of spinning out of control, blending grooves with chaotic production to mirror the song's essence.

“LAX” was inspired by a trip Rothman took to Tennessee, where they stayed in a historic cabin outside of Nashville once inhabited by Leonard Cohen in the late ‘60s. It was during this trip/visit that Rothman was rushed to the hospital, an experience that led them to reflect on their near-fatal battle with anorexia and the pain.

The Canadian shows will follow Rateliff’s performances of “A Night of Leonard Cohen with the Colorado Symphony” for their Imagination Artist Series, taking place at Denver’s Boettcher Concert Hall on April 5 and 6.

“Raised In The Ashes” was produced by platinum recording artist Ron Pope and features contributions from Robby Hecht (backing vocals) and Mountain Heart's Seth Taylor on banjo and acoustic guitar. It follows the release of “Complicated Man,” a song about acknowledging your moral victories as well as your failures.

“Deeper Shade Of Blue” follows previous singles “Rosary,” which Americana Highways exclaimed, “the suspense and darkness begins its haunting from the opening note,” and “Beautiful Day,” which Glide Magazine called, “a dreamy work of Americana-laced folk-rock that finds them leaning into a sound that is quietly rocking.”
