“Breathe onto me” is out now, listen here.

If Not Winter is due on August 1 via Music Soup / Interscope, Pre-Save / Pre-Order here.

Today, Wisp shares the final single ahead of her debut album, If Not Winter (due August 1 & accompanied by an extensive headline tour) – “Breathe onto me.” Listen to “Breathe onto me” here and  Pre-Save / Pre-Order If Not Winter here.

“Breathe onto me” is a real nod to her most dedicated fans, who recognized the track immediately when Wisp teased on socials, saying things like “I’ve been waiting for this for years.” That community is at the heart of everything Wisp does: a massive shoegaze fan herself, she and her fans sit on the same tier in many ways, and experience the elation of this meteoric rise together.

Of the track, Wisp says, “‘Breathe onto me’ is a fun play on affection, touch, and love on the surface. It’s about the simplicity of physical relationships and how they can totter between innocent and lustful.”

Inspired by a thriving community of artistic friends, mentors, and collaborators, If Not Winter finds Wisp synthesizing disparate sonic universes into a singular and evocative aesthetic. Incorporating the melodic sophistication of pop’s most versatile songwriters, folk’s narrative poetry, and the hierarchy-smashing communal ideals of hardcore, If Not Winter is a landmark release from one of 2025’s most vital young rock artists.

If Not Winter heightens its diaristic lyrics with elements of medieval fantasy. At its core, it’s a quest, throughout which she picks up magic talismans or holy grails from villages she can now call home. Ethereal yet extremely close to the heart, it’s a triumph of brave exploration and experimental cartography. Wisp has already shared album tracks “Save me now,” her grungiest track to date which caught the eye of NPR“Sword,” an expansive overture to the record; and “Get back to me,” perhaps the sunniest, sun-splitting-through-the-clouds moment on the record.

Having just made her debut appearances at Coachella and Bonnaroo (one of the lucky few to get to perform this year), Wisp also recently announced extensive headlining tour dates. These are in addition to previously announced shows supporting System of a Down, KORN, Deftones, and Avenged Sevenfold. Find full tour dates here and listed below.

Inspired by the likes of Whirr and Slowdive (who, in a dream come true, she toured with in 2024), Wisp has crafted a distinct and sophisticated sound that strives to realize the expansive possibilities of rock music. Pigeons & Planes rightfully predicted that “it is only a matter of time before Wisp becomes Gen-Z’s go-to ethereal fix,” while Notion declared that she is “bringing shoegaze back with a vengeance.” 

Wisp has graced the global cover of Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist, reached ~500 million streams across all platforms, was named an artist to watch by NYLON, Pigeons & Planes,  Spotify Lorem Artist To Watch, Amazon Breakthrough Artists, Consequence Artist of the Month, and YouTube Music Artist On The Rise Trending, She’s been featured in print in The New York Times and the LA Times, graced the cover of Alt Press’s recent Winter edition, and has been featured across the web in Rolling Stone, Stereogum, PAPER, Brooklyn Vegan, and many more.

Her debut single, “Your face,” hit #10 on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs: a telling indicator of her immediacy and powerful melodic instincts. “Your face” now sits at over 110M streams on Spotify alone, she has amassed over 250M total cross-platform streams and has reached a quarter of a million followers on Instagram.

In May of 2024, she played her live debut in Los Angeles to two sold-out crowds of die-hard fans wearing homemade merch. Just three months later, she played her first major festivals at Lollapalooza, Levitation, Camp Flog Gnaw, and Corona Capital. She’s even headlined her own sold-out shows on three different continents: North America, Europe, and Asia.
