The songs are characterized by nasalized voices, acoustic riffs, MD-four tracks, SM58, and some computers.

Once upon a time it was the jukebox that made pop music. Or vice versa. Indeed, the vinyl-seven inch is romantic, a sentimental medium. And if one of those two Electric-President-singles were put in a jukebox the girls (and the boys) would dance. The buttons would soon be wellworn. Is it because the songs are romantic? Partly. It’s because the songs touch the very foundations of pop music: the storm and stress, the inwardness and the nonchalance, and melodies, melodies, melodies.

The universe of 24-year-old Ben Cooper from Jacksonville Beach/Florida is an echo-chamber with all kinds of doors that are open to small indie within big pop. All that can also be listened to on the self-titled debut (mm 062) that was published recently.

You have the right to remain awesome, vol. 1 (relased in 2004) begins with the organic “good ol’ boys”, a carefully arranged juxtaposition of soundtracks and sound signals. A track that borrows its concentration on rhythm and its electronic oscillations from digital music. A track that matures to analogue vividness – at the latest with Ben Cooper’s repetitive singing.

“Dotted lines” seems to be the exact opposite: almost a folksong, carried by an acoustic guitar and a likeable melody. Garnished with all interlocking and indulging that is so characteristic for Cooper’s arrangements. A soft but never sugary opulence.

In 2006 Electric President released their self-titled album. The album was actually created ctober, 2004 through May of 2005, but released by Morr Music one year later. A free version of the song Good morning, hypocrite can be found at their official home page: [homepage]http://www.radicalface.com/electricpresident.html[/homepage]

Two years later in June 2008 Electric President released their second full length album Sleep Well. This album takes a different direction than their first album which was a simpler and more "day-friendly" record. Sleep Well was made for night time, and the songs were about dreams that Ben had written in his nightmare journal.

In 2009 there are rumours of a b-side compilation to assist Sleep Well.
