Incision in time I’d go back to my dining room Father in his prime What parts am I missing of you I just wanted London sights But the past will have to do Incision of time What did I forget to do Limit my flesh And tell me my place We shared so many kisses But we weren’t awake Bit afraid to move I won’t interrupt this dream Sticky floors inside Animatronic scenes I tried to freeze light But only remember a girl Remember the time We thought it was forever Limit my flesh And tell me my place We shared so many kisses But we weren’t awake Tears in my bed But I’m gonna stay I’d rather count the kisses Than throw you away Limit my flesh And tell me my place We shared so many kisses But we weren’t awake Tears in my bed But I’m gonna stay I’d rather count the kisses Than throw you away

I get close to strangers but none of them are good as you can't walk and talk can't write a song you never knew and all of my archives look like a shrine and this is going in it can't make you mine it's not my time and everyone's in love with Elliot (I get close to strangers, I get close to myself) we can't all be in love with Elliot (everyone's in love, we can't all be in love) I get close to myself and I never think of you what would you want? would you hate this song? could we be brand new? tell her how none of it was your fault I hate jealousy it's so new to me I wish she were gone and everyone's in love with Elliot (I get close to strangers, I get close to myself) we can't all be in love with Elliot (everyone's in love, we can't all be in love) I can't miss you like that can't wake up and feel the same again can't take one more year can't love you like you're just a friend I can't have you here and everyone's in love with Elliot (I get close to strangers, I get close to myself) we can't all be in love with Elliot (everyone's in love, we can't all be in love) I get close to strangers I get close to myself x3

about

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.

Now 19 years old, Camille delivers an excellent snapshot of those uncertain and wildly hopeful late teen years. 'i tried to freeze light' captures Camille approaching heartbreak and self-perception from a variety of angles–each track playing slightly with genre and cadence and infused with influence from her musical heroes, like Liz Phair and Fiona Apple.

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.

While misunderstandings color the emotional sentiment of the EP, Camille’s artistry and expression come through clear as day on i tried to freeze light, presenting her as a promising young voice with real talent and a hunger for musical experimentation.
