Search - Johnnyswim :: Moonlight

Critically acclaimed Los Angeles band JOHNNYSWIM?led by husband-and-wife Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano?unveil their third full-length album, MOONLIGHT, on April 19. This marks the group?s first release under their newly minted deal with Britannia Row Recordings and BMG. Throughout 2018, JOHNNYSWIM carefully crafted what would become the new album alongside GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and songwriter Malay [Frank Ocean, Sam Smith], working out of both his Brooklyn apartment and his recently opened Britannia Row Recordings studio in Hollywood. Together, they expanded the band?s musical palette, while honing its signature songwriting. Invariably inspired by the final product, Malay went on to sign them to Britannia Row Recordings as well. Introducing the record, JOHNNYSWIM has released the first single, ?Bridges.? Driven by a robust guitar riff and propulsive percussion, Amanda and Abner congregate on an uplifting harmony that?s as fresh as it is fiery. Elsewhere on the 12-track collection, warm acoustic plucking and a thick groove underscore the chant of ?Say What You Will,? while ?Amanda? serves as a tender letter from husband to wife. Meanwhile, legendary crooner Michael McDonald lends his immortal wail to downright anthemic ?The Last Time.? Simply put, they shine like never before in the new year on MOONLIGHT. To celebrate the impending arrival of the album, JOHNNYSWIM have announced an extensive tour for 2019 that kicks off May 3rd in St Louis and wraps on June 14th in Los Angeles.
