The date for Ben Cooper’s (aka Radical Face) long awaited sophomore album release has finally been announced (October 4th) alongside news of Cooper‘s plan to release The Family Tree; The Roots independently under another kick-ass moniker, “Bear Machine Records”. Excitingly, Cooper has also recently joined forces with Coda Booking Agency, who handle the likes of Beirut, Calexico, Deer Tick, Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, The Acorn, Vetiver, William Elliott Whitmore and many, many more Timber & Steel favourites, so hopefully this gives Cooper the opportunity to get out a bit more and share his new music with punters in all corners of the globe in a live format.
“We’re On Our Way” (below) is not one of the tracks set to be on the new album according to the tracklisting (further below), but it sure is sweet.
