Los Angeles-based folk-pop duo JOHNNYSWIM has returned with their deeply personal fifth album, When The War Is Over, released on 7 February via their own MR AND MRS SWIM LLC imprint. Among the standout tracks, ‘Slow Medicine’ emerges as a powerful meditation on healing, emotional connection, and the journey toward self-realization. The song, which begins as a delicate piano ballad featuring Amanda Sudano Ramirez’s heartfelt vocals, gradually unfolds into a hauntingly beautiful composition. It speaks to the realization that true healing isn’t found in distractions but in deep, meaningful relationships.

Produced by Abner Ramirez and mixed by Raul Lopez, ‘Slow Medicine’ exemplifies the duo’s signature blend of raw emotion and musical precision. The track reflects the overarching themes of When The War Is Over, which the duo describes as a product of one of the most challenging periods in their lives. JOHNNYSWIM recorded the album in a live setting, embracing an organic and vulnerable approach that allows each instrument to breathe and every lyric to resonate. Their heartfelt storytelling has garnered support from major outlets like Rolling Stone, NPR, and BBC Radio London, solidifying their reputation as a force in the folk-pop world.

As part of their album’s rollout, JOHNNYSWIM recently performed ‘Dopamine’, a collaboration with rapper Tobe Nwigwe, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, showcasing their dynamic stage presence. With over 575 million global streams to their name, the duo continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Their upcoming tour will take them to London’s Scala on 20 May and Amsterdam’s Tolhuistuin on 21 May. As ‘Slow Medicine’ resonates with listeners, JOHNNYSWIM hopes their music offers solace and a sense of shared experience, reminding fans that healing is a journey best undertaken together.
