Radical Face fans wait no longer. The promised prequel EP, The Bastards: Volume One, is available as a free download below. This EP eagerly anticipates the first of the The Family Tree Trilogy of albums, The Roots, due out this October.
Note: If you aren’t already a Radical Face fan, and would like to do this all in a dignified and sequential order, then start with our previous post here, then return to this very spot and continue. We will then all be on the same page.
The Bastards: Volume One is expectedly pretty. Ben Cooper’s voice is, as always, lifting melodically and lightly out the musical foundation, crooning concepts that really matter and that we can all relate to and reflect on. He uses repetition to his advantage, touches us with us with the simplicity of the piano parts, and gets a bit folky at the jamboree at times, as you will hear in the track “We’re on Our Way,” included below.
Let’s thank Racial Face for the free EP download, and keep an eye out for the schedule of live performances as the release date for The Roots nears. Word is that Radical Face has something very special planned for the shows surrounding this release, involving choirs and charities around the US. Sounds pretty radical to me.
