Details: Jahnah Camille "i tried to freeze light, but only remember a girl" CS (2024, Winspear). New stock, sealed.

Description: "Jahnah Camille’s songs capture the rollercoaster of teenage angst, heartbreak and introspection over a well-made bed of driving guitars and catchy, compact melodies. A five-track EP infused with anxiety and grit, 'i tried to freeze light, but only remember a girl,' is a shining introductory project smoothed over by Camille’s sugar-sweet voice and cutting lyricism.

Much of the EP’s songs were written and recorded while Camille was still in high school, taking trips back and forth from Atlanta to record. In the time following, Camille dug into the local DIY scene, steadily gaining an impressive resume of opening slots as she cut her teeth supporting acts like Clairo, Soccer Mommy, Cryogeyser and Wednesday as they came through town.

The EP pulls at a range of alternative rock and pop threads, there’s the 90s alternative rock opener “flesh” and the country-gaze-tinged “roadkill.” Camille then softens on the swooning synth-layered ode to love lost, “elliot,” before relaxing into a folksy, acoustic “paper doll.”I wanna talk and not spill out carnival sounds” Camille confides on closer “carnival sounds”--a track that illuminates the singer’s art-pop influences and knack for revealing tender and at times searing admissions through her lyricism."
