It takes a lot of work to hit someone so hard with a seemingly minimalist effort. Old Sea Brigade accomplishes just that feat with his new single, “Love Brought Weight.”

Off of a forthcoming, self-titled EP, Ben Cramer, the visionary behind Old Sea Brigade, kicks up some ethereal dust with a steadily paced acoustic guitar, ghostly coos ala The National and the songwriter’s beautiful voice.

“‘Love Brought Weight’ is a song I wrote a while ago and had trouble finishing, shares Cramer. “Once I realized it didn’t need to be an over-complicated song, the remainder of it came pretty quickly. It’s nice how in certain situations, simplicity works best.”
