After four years milling over the concept and fifteen months recording alone in the tool shed behind his mother’s house in Jacksonville, Florida, Ben Cooper, AKA Radical Face, is finally ready to release his sophomore album The Family Tree: The Roots out October 4th on Bear Machine. It’s the follow-up to his 2007 debut indie triumph Ghost, and the first installment of what will eventually be three stand alone records all tied to the theme of a Family Tree—once again separating himself from all things traditional.

One half of the band Electric President and with side projects like Clone, Mothers Basement, and Patients, chances are you’re already familiar with Ben’s music. The Radical Face track “Welcome Home” has garnered over 16 million YouTube views.
