Heavyweight EP is a 2012 EP by Rachael Yamagata.

Development

The EP consists of leftovers from the creation of Chesapeake , which Yamagata worked on the previous year, plus some songs that were composed during touring Europe and North America. Yamagata returns to her previous formula of piano and strings. [2] The song "Keep Going" was used in the 2012 film, To Write Love on Her Arms , also known as Renee. The tracks were recorded in The Village, The Bunny Ranch, Crab Trap, Marlay Studio, and Ice Station Zebra Studio in Medford, Massachusetts. [3] The cover artwork is by Jan Zoya, whose artwork impressed Yamagata with its feeling of sadness, nostalgia, and passion. [4]
