Jahnah Camille - My sunny oath!

Set in the pressure cooker of fresh adulthood, Jahnah Camille’s defiant new EP My sunny oath! is a guitar-based grab at self-acceptance. Romping through alt-rock, lo-fi grit, and sardonic grunge with unflinching momentum, the new six-song collection channels Jahnah’s era-agnostic songwriting influences, from The Sundays and Liz Phair to Minnie Riperton and Japanese Breakfast.

Largely written before a breakout year including tours opening for Luna Li, Tops, and Blondshell, My sunny oath! is set in stormy self-development. Dreamily layered vocals, modern shoegaze sheen, and keyboard lines accompany Jahnah’s ear-worming guitar parts and coyly detached tone, as she pushes through the muck of outgrown relationships, misogyny, and hometown anxiety with the help of producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza, MJ Lenderman).

The clear-eyed sonic expansion of My sunny oath! marks a decisively bold, exploratory new direction for Camille’s sound with fearless hooks and swirling production abound. It’s a messy, vulnerable, and inviting picture of early adulthood.
