Today, Wisp uncloaks the first chapter of her new era: ‘Sword’, a brutally exquisite, icily-rendered depiction of internal maelstroms blown to epic proportions. The track is accompanied by a cinematic video directed by Rudy Grazziani and Valeriya Dyatko. LISTEN HERE + WATCH HERE.

Of the single, Wisp says: “‘Sword’ represents the shame and confusion people feel when loved ones hide them from the world. It’s about not having a chance to shine because your partner keeps you in the dark.”

In the ‘Sword’ video, Wisp is thrust into a vivid dreamscape of high medieval fantasy. Fraught with filigree, the cavernous castle halls mimic Wisp’s haunting voice, a sentiment further embodied by the ghostly, delicate frills of her white gown — made almost invisible against a snowy backdrop. An anonymous knight, clad in cold iron, stands as an ominous, heavy presence, until Wisp herself dons the metallic shell.

It’s the first glimpse of her new world… and that world will get so much more vast in the weeks and months to come, as Wisp takes us towards her debut full body of work.

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 realise 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 hundreds of millions of 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.

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. She’s currently slated for festival performances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Kilby Block Party, and, this August, she’ll join System of a Down on their massive stadium tour, sharing stages with SOAD, Korn, Deftones, and Avenged Sevenfold. For all upcoming live dates, visit HERE.

Wisp has arrived, humbled by her experiences but emboldened to take on what’s next. The saga continues…
