Heart Beats

"Heart Beats" is the third EP from Los Angeles based, folk, soul, blues, pop music duo Johnnyswim, released 18,June 2013 on the Big Picnic Records label. Some of the darker themes on "Heart Beats" stem from the time in which the EP was written: Ramirez had just suffered the loss of his father, and Sudano's mother Donna Summer was deep in her fight against cancer. "The EP is about the process of wanting to run away and have a break, and there is no break when you're going through that kind of a loss," Sudano explains. "It was about us figuring out who we wanted to be in that moment. It goes from wanting to run away and wanting mercy, to realizing that you can get through it if you try." The EP peaked at No. 14 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
