Ghost Stories

I downloaded a few songs from a random itunes search a few months ago and never really gave it a thorough listen until the past couple of weeks. I do that sometimes and then I kick myself because I could have been listening to great music! I feel like I've cheated myself out of quality time with a good friend.



That good, if not newly acquired friend is Ben Cooper. These days he's going by Radical Face, while before he was the voice behind Electric President. His latest endeavor, Ghost, is a beautiful and emotive record with a rather thought provoking idea "What if houses had memories?" What if the stories of our lives were embedded into the walls, like the grooves of a record, meant to play out again and again. The songs on Ghost unlock these memories, reminding the artist of where he comes from, what's behind him. Whether it be the memories of the current inhabitants or of those who have come home after being away for too long, whether good or bad, the house remembers everything and will remind you if listen well.
