New Skin for the Old Ceremony is the fourth studio album by Leonard Cohen. On this album, he begins to evolve away from the rawer sound of his earlier albums, with violas, mandolins, banjos, guitars, percussion and other instruments giving the album a more orchestrated (but nevertheless spare) sound. The album is silver in the UK, but never dented the Billboard Top 200.
A remastered CD was released in 1995 and in 2009 it was included in Hallelujah - The Essential Leonard Cohen Album Collection, an 8-CD box set issued by Sony Music in the Netherlands.

Famous quotes containing the word skin:
“Her skin was white as leprosy,
The nightmare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man’s blood with cold.”
