Radical Face来自美国佛罗里达的Jacksonville。本名Ben Cooper，开创新民谣风格的艺人，与Alax Kane组成Electric President并且在04年发行同名专辑《Electric President》。这张11首歌曲的《Ghost》可以说代表了他个人的民谣思想。宁静，不嘈杂，生活的真实。专辑中稍带一些Lo-fi和实验的味道，将人声，童声，风声，生活中的脚步声，开门声，风铃声，自然中的鸟声等等一些生活中的声音以音乐的方式加入歌曲中。一张再真实，淳朴不过的民谣专辑。用钢琴，吉他，伴奏乐器，手风琴及声乐来谱写了11首情感之作。像是一个故事，有开头，有结尾。大量的情感的输出，以悲为主题的一个音乐故事。
