Two years ago, the teenage college student Natalie R. Lu made a shoegaze track called "Your Face" and posted it online under the name Wisp. The song went viral literally overnight. Wisp scored a deal with Interscope and became one of the big names of the TikTok-driven shoegaze revival. This fall, she'll tour with System Of A Down, Korn, Deftones, and Avenged Sevenfold. She's released a bunch of singles since that first one, including the recent tracks "Sword" and "Get Back To Me." Now, she's ready to announce her first album.
Later this summer. Wisp will release her full-length debut If Not Winter. We don't have many details on the album yet. There's no tracklist, so we're not even sure which of Wisp's singles made the cut. But we do know that her new song "Save Me Now" is on there. It's a gentle shimmer with some big grunge riffage and spectral vocals that recall early Grimes. Check out the video and Wisp's upcoming tour dates below.
