Radical Face

Radical Face is somewhat well-known now, although it recently came to my attention that a couple of my friends whose opinion on music I regard quite highly had never heard of him.  It's one guy, Ben Cooper, from Jacksonville, FL, and he manages to produce some fairly compelling music on his own.  He apparently records most of his stuff in an old shed behind his house, and obviously does a lot of layering.  The style is fairly orchestral and grand, but there are also rock influences.  Here is an example of one his songs.  He has released three albums to date: "Junkyard Chandelier", "Ghost", and most recently "The Family Tree: The Roots".  His recent project will supposedly involve several installments of "The Family Tree".  Radical Face isn't this guy's only project; it just happens to be the one that's got the most traction.  If you like it, you should also check out Patients, Clone, and especially Electric President (some of this stuff is really hard to find).  He blogs fairly frequently on his website.
