I know this is a week old, but I haven't of course had time to post about it in here, let alone even listen to yet myself (maybe today or tomorrow), even though I already bought it on vinyl/download.
I did enjoy some of the new tunes at that show last week. Maybe most notably, the 6+ minute track "The Gilded Hand."
Given I have more to try and catch up on, any more commentary about this group will have to wait. But I can add for now, I am a bigger fan of them now, even more than before, from seeing that show last week. Ben Cooper is a great songwriter and entertaining live performer.

This is the 2nd record in a trilogy of records called "The Family Tree" from Radical Face (1 of many musical projects from Florida based songwriter Ben Cooper).
The 1st record of the trilogy is titled "The Roots" was pretty sweet. New track sounds sublime. Pretty excited to see Ben Cooper and his band? live next week at the Varsity Theatre.
10/22 for the US release. I doubt it, but maybe they'll have them for sale on this tour.

Hi Folks,
So I've got a couple updates on this new release. I'll keep it short. Promise.
The album proper will be out on Oct.22 (US), Nov.4 (Europe), but the first track, "Holy Branches", is up to listen to on soundcloud if you'd like to hear that. And I just finished a video for that song that I'm pretty tickled about. That should be up soon.
I've been getting emails about the preorders, and those are up on Amazon and Itunes, but I also have a deal on my webstore with a bunch of extra goodies. So yes, I am doing a preorder package -http://radicalface.s...musictoday.com/
