Wisp Masquerades Compulsion as Connection in "Get back to me"

Wisp unveils her new high medieval fantasy, a deeply dreamy universe, with the intriguing "Get back to me." This track, which uniquely merges the high medieval fantasy and nu-metal genres, features a sunny melody, pedal-heavy guitars, and echoing cathedral acoustics. It's a sound that blends raw emotion with precisely manipulated nu-metal, creating an almost holy mixture.

The track begins delicately, inviting you into its world, before expanding into pedal-warped heaviness. The opening lines feel like a refusal to move on. It's not dramatic, just stubborn, as Wisp stands in the emotional wreckage, half-hoping for someone else to start rebuilding. Her vocals stay deliberately misty, never fully grounded in the mix like she's trying to disappear into the noise. Yet, she still pleads with her love to "get back to me" and return to something already proven destructive because it once felt like home. The track is a mesmerizing journey that harbors a reflective facet, exploring harmful patterns and subsequent uneasiness.

Of the single, Wisp says, "'Get back to me' represents the greed for chaos, even at the cost of yourself. It's about staying in a place you know isn't good for you, yet you're in a seemingly unbreakable cycle of going back - which portrays desperation, recklessness, and limerence."

"Get back to me" follows the lead single "Sword," a brutally exquisite, icily-rendered depiction of internal maelstroms blown to epic proportions. Both tracks, fraught with filigree, offer us a glimpse of what will surely be a momentous year in Wisp's journey. Wisp has already played one weekend of Coachella and is slated for Bonnaroo, Kilby Block Party. Moreover, she will join System of a Down on their massive stadium tour, sharing stages with not only them but Korn, Deftones, and Avenged Sevenfold.
