Electric President is the second of Ben Cooper's projects, this time with Alex Kane. The sound is a mix with folk, pop, electronic, with a sound that would be very much like if you threw The Postal Service, The Decemberists, The Flaming Lips, and George Orwell in a large blender.
They've recorded two albums and one EP under the Electric President moniker, all available under the German imprint Morr Music, with a third to be released in early 2010 on Fake Four Inc.

F# When you fought B You sunk like a stone F# But that's not why you came here B And that's not while we'll go D#m You were sold B And you were bought F# And you were blamed C# When they forgot D#m But you can choose B Just how you fall C# You can choose how to lose it all F# F# But it's nothing I miss B But I liked how you hit me F# And I liked how you quit D#m But you're not the same B You changed your name F# You didn't just switch teams C# You left the game D#m And now we're done B With shaking hands F#C# Because we're strangers now and we'll just have to pretend
F#* (either play xx4676 or x9 11 11 11 9) We're honest We're honest We're honest when we tell lies
C# We're lying We're lying when we don't mind
D#m We're tired We're tired of all the jokes
F# Our progress Our progress is too damn slow
D#mBF# I left my home and woke up cold C# The floors were pale, the walls had holes D#mBF# The air was thick, the beds were wrecked C# I tried to call, but there was nothing left
I wish I could say that it was all okay
Okay Okay Okay Okay
F#
I was finally told B That's not why you came here F# And that's not why you'll go D#mB You were taught to turn them down F#C# To make the most of what you found D#mB But I was raised to pave the way C#F# And to spend whatever it takes
