Wisp is a 19-year-old artist based in San Francisco who, with only three songs to her name, has already found her footing in the new wave of shoegaze and slowcore revival. Her debut song, “Your face,” shot to popularity on TikTok overnight, and now sits at over 31 million streams on Spotify after less than a year since its release. Listeners are drawn to the roaming guitars and guttural distortion of Wisp’s sound that weave a dark foundation for her nebulous vocals. Centered around a cryptic musical persona, Wisp is like a ghost of slowcore’s past, come back to haunt the alternative scene with a gloriously atmospheric revival of the genre.
