Johnnyswim have bounced back with their brand new album, ‘When The War Is Over’.
A testament to emotional growth and overcoming, the Nashville natives piece together their most personal work to date. Over a snappy and concise tracklist, Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez shine a light on their theatrical performance, engaging their audiences with inter-weaving melodies and a rustic production. Take ‘Dopamine’, writing its illustrious wonders alongside hip-hop wordsmith Tobe Nwigwe, to create an uplifting listen throughout.
Two decades into their journey, the LA-based duo have refined a unique live show, leaning into the acoustic elements of their sound. Recently gracing the stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Johnnyswim are exploring their latest material amongst new crowds, set to play in Texas, London, Amsterdam and beyond.
Speaking on their fifth full-length release, the outfit expand: “This album came from one of the most challenging seasons of our lives. ‘When The War Is Over‘ felt like the right title because, for a long time, it felt like we were in a battle—physically, emotionally, and mentally. We wrote these songs while navigating health struggles, therapy, and the process of truly feeling our feelings instead of running from them. Musically, we wanted this album to feel as honest as the lyrics, so we recorded it the old-school way—live, in a room with our favorite musicians, discovering the songs as we played them. Every instrument has eyeballs, every sound is real and alive.”
Tune in now.
