Radical Face



Hello world.

Radical Face is the solo project of Florida based Ben Cooper and his music is 100% delightful. The music elegantly balances its levels of folksyosity and experimentalism without overdoing either, resulting an airy, majestic, and uniquely haunting feel. Think the Shins get super friendly with The Postal Service, except less electric. (If you want to hear a band that largely resembles Radical Face, but is extremely electric, check out one of Ben Cooper's other projects, Electric President.)

Songs to start with:
  • Welcome Home, Son (Ghost -2007)
  • Wrapped In Piano Strings (Ghost -2007)
  • Glory (Ghost -2007)

"Welcome Home, Son" should leave you with the sensation that your life has become the intro to the movie "Garden State"
...In a good way.
