Wisp
With her blend of crushing sonics and lighter-than-air vocals, Wisp’s version of shoegaze envelops her listeners. The San Francisco-based artist quickly found an audience: her 2023 debut single “Your Face” racked up millions of streams and led to a major-label deal. Wisp developed her blend of Whirr and Deftones-inspired crunch, lo-fi production, and breathy, Grouper-esque singing on later singles like “Tangled Dreams” and 2024’s “See You Soon.” On her 2025 debut album If Not Winter, Wisp’s music reflected her growing maturity and her enduring devotion to dark romance and wonder.
