Georgica Pond was produced by JOHNNYSWIM’s Abner Ramirez and recorded at the
couple’s home studio in Los Angeles, with bass and drum parts added at the Castle in
Nashville.
Of their process, Ramirez explains,
“Any fear we had on album one has completely
evaporated. We know the people that come to JOHNNYSWIM shows. We know it matters to them what we have to say. We realize that, much like ourselves, our fans appreciate honesty. We wanted that to be the cornerstone of this album.”

“love, legacy, the past and the future all put
into this bittersweet mixture that makes you fully appreciate the present.”
