USA-based singer-songwriter Ben Cramer, aka Old Sea Brigade, returns to us with “Heaven in the Right Light,” the second single from his new body of work.
The song fades in with a resounding string arrangement before an upbeat rhythm brings it fully to life. The mood is extremely chill, with a gloriously melodic bass line tipping the folksy scales into the realm of pop music, though maintaining the stripped-back and raw production that caused us to initially become such big fans of Cramer’s craft.
This authentic and vintage-imbued flavor is easily evidenced through the acoustic guitar and vocal performance within “Heaven in the Right Light.” And for those of you who fell in love with Old Sea Brigade upon the release of Ode To A Friend, we are pleased to inform you that Cramer’s honest and heartfelt character courses through the veins of his new material as well.
Layers of additional vocals descend upon the arrangement, providing “Heaven in the Right Light” with a gloriously sonic width, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves within the soundscape. As with many Old Sea Brigade tunes, this track is the perfect soundtrack for those times when the only escape from the world is a simple roadtrip to nowhere.
About “Heaven in the Right Light,” Cramer adds: “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.”
