Editor's note

Radical Face is Ben Cooper's quiet storytelling project

A solo project built around narrative songs and atmospheric folk, with albums like 'Ghost' and 'Family Tree' exploring themes of family and place.

If you want to hear what this project does best, start with 'Second Family Portrait' or 'Rivers In The Dust.' They're good examples of how Cooper builds a whole mood around a single story.

Radical Face songs like 'Rivers In The Dust' and 'Second Family Portrait' show how Cooper builds entire worlds with just a few quiet instruments and careful lyrics. He's been doing this since 2003, creating albums that feel like chapters in a larger story about home and memory. The music doesn't shout for attention, but it sticks with you because of how specific the scenes feel.

He started recording as Radical Face in 2003, with the first album 'Ghost' arriving in 2007. Later albums like 'Family Tree' and 'The Bastards' expanded the sound while keeping the narrative focus, and more recent EPs like 'The Quiet Fears' continue in that same vein.

Archive material and source history

Radical Face is essentially Ben Cooper, who started recording under that name in 2003. His first album, 'Ghost,' came out in 2007. The music tends to be quiet and built around storytelling, with songs like 'Second Family Portrait' and 'Rivers In The Dust' showing that focus on narrative and atmosphere.

He followed that with albums like 'Family Tree' in 2011 and 'The Bastards' in 2013, which expanded the sound a bit. More recently, he's put out EPs like 'The Quiet Fears' and 'Into the Woods.' The work often circles back to themes of family and place, heard in tracks such as 'Family Portrait' and 'Southern Snow.'

Cooper has said that a song like 'Welcome Home, Son' was misinterpreted by some listeners. He clarified it was meant to be about grief, not anything else. He generally keeps to himself, which fits the music's introspective feel.
