Details: Orange Crush colored vinyl. Ben Cramer describes 5 AM Paradise, his vivid and moving third album as Old Sea Brigade, as a coming-of-age record: ten songs that balance youthful abandon with maturity and restraint, full of imaginative flourishes, evocative textures, and graceful melodies that lend magnitude to mundane moments. It's the follow-up to 2021's Motivational Speaking, which served as a critical breakout for the musician after earning praise from Consequence for making "some of the best quarantine art" and SPIN as one of their "favorite musicians" of 2021. 5 AM Paradise builds on those successes, as he revels in new sounds and ideas and explores the textures of everyday life in songs that make space for doubt and worry alongside joy and pleasure. He leaves his songs unresolved-posing more questions than he answers-so that they reveal more and more of themselves each time you hear them. The album received critical praise from outlets like Under The Radar, Brooklyn Vegan, Americana UK, WNYC Soundcheck, The East Nashvillian and many more. Old Sea Brigade spent much of 2022 on the road supporting 5am Paradise, opening for Passenger to sold-out shows across North America followed by headline tour dates in both North American and the UK & Europe. He ended the year with his national TV debut on CBS Mornings "Saturday Sessions. "
