Radical Face
Ghost
Released: March 22, 2007

By Tom Carbone

One half of the indietronica (lame, I know) group Electric President, Ben Cooper creates more of an experimental folk album with this release under his solo moniker Radical Face. Written, layered, recorded, and produced in his Jacksonville Beach, Florida tool shed, Cooper decided to depart a little from his previous efforts and try something new with Ghost. Most of the tracks have delicate, ambient aspects to them, and every instrument on the album was recorded by Cooper himself. Pretty awesome. I can still hear faint call backs to his previous efforts with some glitchy drum beats, but this album is great for a night alone on the road or a cup of coffee at sunrise. It’s just fantastic music to have on while reminiscing with somebody you love, and that’s something I’ve never said about an album.
