Old Sea Brigade Releases Blissful New Single “Heaven in the Right Light”

June 7, 2024 BY Bailey Vigliaturo

Last month, Old Sea Brigade invited us into his world with his debut single, “Polygraph,” from his upcoming body of work. Today, he unveils a new track, “Heaven in the Right Light,” a dreamy, sonically nostalgic single with inviting harmonies and a polished performance. Listen to “Heaven in the Right Light” on all digital retailers (here).

Ben Cramer, the man behind the moniker, shares, “This song really felt like a stream of consciousness when we wrote it—almost like a good therapy session. The general theme of it is to let go of the past and give in to the love around you in the present.”

The Atlanta-born, previously Nashville-based artist is no stranger to stepping into the unknown. The past year saw Cramer enter a new stage of life, relocating to Sweden with his partner and welcoming their first child. While he spends the majority of his personal and creative life in Gothenburg now, he still holds down a base in Nashville.

Ben Cramer first introduced Old Sea Brigade with his debut eponymous EP Old Sea Brigade (which included his seminal hit “Love Brought Weight”), followed by his 2019 debut album, Ode To A Friend. He has toured with artists like Passenger, Wild Rivers, and Luke Sital-Singh, and developed an undeniable chemistry with Luke that carried over to the studio on the collaborative All the Ways You Sing in the Dark EP.

His 2021 sophomore album, Motivational Speaking, was called “some of the best quarantine art” (Consequence) and “sharply written and infectiously propulsive.” (Uncut). Cramer built on these successes with his latest album, 2022’s 5am Paradise, where he reveled in new sounds and ideas, all the while exploring the textures and intricacies of everyday life in songs that made space for doubt and worry alongside joy and pleasure. He left his songs unresolved—posing more questions than he answers—so that they reveal more and more of themselves each time you hear them. Old Sea Brigade has since received praise from the likes of WNYC SoundcheckBrooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, No Depression, East Nashvillian, and many more. All of this culminated with this national TV debut on CBS Mornings “Saturday Sessions.”
