Johnnyswim’s fifth studio album, When The War Is Over, saw the duo returning to an “in the room” live recording format.

“One thing we were very excited to do on this album, that we haven’t done since our first album, is every instrument has eyeballs. Every instrument is played by a person,” Abner explained. “There’s very few, if any, synthetic instruments – the piano is a person at the piano, the drums are a person at the drums, etc. There’s no samples, there’s no whatever. We almost always have real musicians in the room, but very rarely, not since our first album, have we had them all in the same room at the same time. We recorded this very old school. We were discovering the songs as opposed to just having a clear picture of what the production must sound like. We sat with our favorite musicians, our band, in a room, and we discovered the songs as we went along.”

Johnnyswim further detailed When The War Is Over.

“This album means so much to us because it represents a significant chapter in our lives. Both of us have been navigating our own emotional and physical health challenges over the last few years, and it’s a testament to that journey. In many ways, this album reflects our acceptance of the challenges we’ve faced, embracing the honesty we’ve always pursued in our songwriting. It’s for anyone who has faced their own battles—physical or emotional—and is looking for music to walk with them through it.”

Johnnyswim shared the track “Los Feliz” last week as the latest When The War Is Over preview. Listen below:
