Radical Face is the musical project of Ben Cooper, an artist known for his introspective and narrative-driven indie folk music. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Cooper launched Radical Face in the mid-2000s, gaining significant attention with the 2007 release of "Ghost," an album that weaves personal storytelling with the haunting concept of houses retaining memories of what has transpired within their walls. With a focus on rich acoustic textures and an ethereal feel, his music often explores themes of family, memory, and the passage of time.

Over the years, Radical Face has become synonymous with a deeply emotive style that resonates with listeners through its cinematic soundscapes and poignant lyricism. Cooper's commitment to storytelling reached a peak with "The Family Tree" album series—a sprawling trio of records released between 2011 and 2016, which follow the fictional Northcote family's varied bloodline across centuries. In more recent years, Radical Face has continued to expand its discography with works like "Therapy" in 2019 and its follow-up "Therapy (Alternate Reality Versions)" which strips down and reimagines songs from the original EP. Works such as "Reveries" and "A Light in the Woods - Book One: Hidden Hollow" see Cooper continuing to evolve as an artist, offering fans a blend of ambient soundscapes and heartfelt folk that showcase his versatility and consistent ability to connect on a profound level with his audience.
