Intense singer-songwriter. Hello fans of Sufjan or The Shins?
 
Florida man Ben Cooper a.k.a. Radical Face has completed the second part of his trilogy on a 19th century family that lives in a haunted house: ‘The Family Tree: The Roots’. He put together the successor to his heavily superlatively loaded debut ‘Ghost’ in his mother's garden shed over the last 4 years. The songs are eerily beautiful on this album too, one which regularly reminds of the best of Sufjan Stevens or The Shins for example.
 
In that garden shed he was mostly working with piano, acoustic guitar, a single floor-tom and his warm, slightly nasally blessed voice. The fictive family from the America of the 19th century that inspire his songs aren't even a strange concept for this former writer who saw 2 complete novels disappear in a computer crash and who exchanges completed albums on the internet for anything except money.
 
He's half of indietronica band Electric President and also active in a series of side-projects like Clone, Mothers Basement and Patients, yet Cooper would still appear to be aiming for the special performances instead of regular concerts. So for the release of his new album he's heading through The States, continually searching for choirs to support his concerts.
 
‘Welcome Home’, from his debut, became a real YouTube hit and we hope that the same fate awaits ‘A Pound Of Flesh’ from his new album.

Support-act will be British singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich who this year released the stunningly beautiful debut ‘Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm’.
‘A majestic debut’ (The Fly). ‘Brit-folk's new voice’ (NME). ‘A serious new talent’ (The Sunday Times).
